| Description:

Discover the Organic Indigo Vat, a way of indigo dyeing that uses fruits, sugars and other natural substances to dye beautiful natural blues. Developed by Michel Garcia, the “1 2 3” method works faster than fermentation and does not require the use of chemicals. In our workshop we will create vats using henna, bananas and fructose as reducing agents. We will dye silk and cotton fabrics to make sets of color gradated samples, and we will also dye wool yarns. Learn how to maintain your indigo vat and keep it going. | |
