WORKSHOP: Indigo & Shibori with Amy Johnson

SVMoA Hailey Classroom

In this hands-on indigo dyeing workshop, explore the possibilities of indigo with a focus on submersive dyeing and Shibori dyeing techniques. Indigo is a natural dye extracted from some plants, and Shibori is a Japanese resist-dyeing technique that involves twisting cloth and binding it to create a vast array of patterns in the fabric. Instructor Amy Johnson will guide you through the best way to prepare fabrics for dyeing, from fabric selection, to washing, scouring and post-dyeing treatment that will give your dyed goods the longest life possible. Then, mix a fructose indigo vat, stitch, wrap your designs, and dip the fabric into the vat of your desired shade of indigo. By the end of the workshop, unfold the pieces and reveal the stunning one-of-a-kind patterns. Make sure to wear clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting some splashes of blue on! SVMoA will provide three silk scarves for participants to dye, but you are welcome to bring your own items to dye. Dyeable fabrics that work best for this process are wool, silk (100% animal protein fibers) 100% cotton, hemp, or bamboo fibers. Age & Ability: 16+, beginners welcome!
