Dip into indigo—the plant, the dye and the process!

Create your own indigo dyed fabric samples in this 2-hour workshop designed for ages 13+. Learn about the chemical processes that make indigo dyeing possible and discover the art of Shibori as you fold and tie your fabric to design unique patterns.
