      Shibori & Indigo Dyeing Beyond Tie Dye $575

      Class Description: We will set up and maintain multiple indigo vats for our dyeing. Debbie will delve deep into the stitching techniques to resist the dye. She will also teach the classic folding, clamping and tying techniques used in shibori Indigo dyeing. This is not a typical indigo dyeing experience; we will go way beyond that but it is open to all skill levels. The first day will be a half day starting at 1:30 so we can get the indigo vats prepared for the following days. The vats will all be organic natural vats.

       Experience Level: Anyone who is interested in learning and sharing.
