INDIGO ONE
(click on image above to find out more or register)
We’ll be concentrating on working with fresh-leaf indigo and focusing on exactly
how it works with various fibers, changes in pH and how to achieve a range of
blues, and working with various resists including clamp, paste, wax, and
string. We’ll be taking all of these techniques and combining them into stunning textiles
of nuanced blues.
Limit: fourteen students

Most of my online courses are information-driven programs, designed to
introduce participants to new techniques. However, this class is focusing on a
specific project to help those already familiar with katazome and tsutsugaki to
hone their skills.
Limit: fourteen students

Five Day Indigo Series

This year I’m trying a new format for people wanting to find out more about working with
Japanese indigo but aren’t really sure where to start. The study days are spread out over a longer period
allowing you to work on projects at your leisure before jumping back in. I’ll be including a lot more cultural and historical information, and perhaps one
of the best parts, I’m including a kit that will include everything needed for the class except dirt,
water, and sunshine! All included in one price.
Limit: twenty-five students
August 9-13, five days plus review
INDIGO TWO
(click on image above to find out more or register)
Continuing working with fresh-, we will also cover working with dried- and
frozen-leaf indigo. We will be creating our own pigments to serve as the basis
for direct painting, and the foundation material for a range of reduction vats.
A full complement of techniques will be employed as we explore combining indigo
with other natural dyes and pigments.
Limit: fourteen students
