Shaping Blue Level 2: Indigo Shibori Workshop (2 Day Intensive)
About the Workshop
Continue your journey into the world of indigo with the beauty of Shibori dyeing. In this hands-on, advanced workshop, you’ll explore Shibori techniques to create striking patterns on cloth. Using a prepared natural indigo vat, we’ll dip our fabrics and watch as they emerge in shades of luminous blue.
Level 2 Class- participants must take Level 1 or have previous Indigo dyeing experience. Each participant will leave with a collection of indigo-dyed samples (and an optional silk scarf) that carry both the marks of tradition and your own hand.
✨ Perfect for artists, makers, and anyone interested in sustainable, slow craft.
