Course Description:In this class you will get to work both with indigo and the European plant woad that was the source of blue for the Unicorn Tapestries, the Book of Kells and countless other works of art. The organic indigo was grown in a warmer climate, but the woad is grown on the East 40. Indigo works much differently than most natural dyes, you will learn about the “vat” reduction method used to extract the dye, and witness the strange magic of pulling something out that looks green and watching it turn to blue when exposed to oxygen. You can try your hand at some basic tie dye/shibori methods which will be demonstrated.
Included in the goody bag each student receives are a bamboo rayon scarf, a 27” square organic cotton tea towel, a 16” square organic cotton hankie, a 10 yard skein “Stunning” Superwash Merino Wool yarn and swatches of Silk Charmeuse and Bamboo rayon. Preparing fiber for natural dyeing is significant, and has already been done for all these fibers. If you attended the Reds class, you are welcomed to bring things you dyed in that class to overdye in blue, which will result in purple!
