Yesterday’s small indigo dyeing class was such a joy! 🌿💙 These students were so attentive with questions and curiosity, and took such great care of the vats we built together. I am looking forward to more of these workshops - building fructose vats from scratch and dyeing with them all within three hours - as well as creating drop in indigo sessions (probably come late summer?) where you can just come in, tie up your piece, and get a couple dips in for a cheaper price.

Next indigo dyeing workshops are 6/16, 7/11, & 7/12! 🌀

Of course, I didn’t take any pictures of the process. I’m too engaged to pull my phone out, tho I know it would benefit me to have documentation. I’ll be reviving these vats later this week, so maybe I’ll capture some content for yall then. Keeping up with social media is not a top priority for me lately, so I do really appreciate it when y’all engage with me here. 💙
