Dive into the world of indigo and explore traditional resist techniques with Felise Gutierrez. Revered for its striking blue hue, indigo carries a rich global history, with traditions developed across Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe. Each month, we’ll experiment with a different resist technique while learning the history and chemistry of indigo, and how to prepare and maintain a living indigo vat. Bring 2–3 items made of 100% natural fibers (cotton, linen, rayon, hemp, wool, or silk) to dye. This is a chance to upcycle well-loved garments or thrifted finds while creatively and joyfully “resisting” a culture of consumption.
