10/4 - Indigo Dying Workshop

Saturday, October 4, 2025

Private Backyard in Ashmont Hill
Because this workshop needs to take place outside, we will be using a neighbor's backyard on Alban Street.  We will send all registered participants the address before the workshop.

Dive into the Blues—Create Something Beautiful

Step into the world of indigo and experience the magic of turning plain fabric into something truly one-of-a-kind. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of indigo dyeing, an ancient art known for its deep, mesmerizing blue tones. You will experience the captivating process of dyeing with indigo, while making something that is beautiful and useful. 

With expert guidance, you’ll explore a variety of fun and beginner-friendly techniques—including traditional shibori, resist, and pole-dyeing—to design and dye your own set of four hand-dyed cotton napkins. (They make amazing gifts—but we won’t blame you if you keep them!)

All materials are included, and additional fabric will be available for purchase if you catch the creative bug and want to dye more.

You may bring a cotton, linen, silk prince of clothing to overdye for an additional $15 per item. Please bring a bag or bin to bring your wet garment home in. 

No experience necessary — just bring:

• A bagged lunch 
• Clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy in!

No skills necessary. Come play, create, and have fun. Come alone or bring a friend. 

Workshop tickets are non-refundable, because we purchase all supplies ahead of time based on headcount.  Thank you for understanding.
