Workshop - Naturally Dyeing with Indigo
A day of discovering natural blues!
Join Claire & Stephy on the farm and explore the enchanting blue shades born from natural indigo. The day includes a thorough guide on creating a vat, experimenting with simple shibori and resist patterns and, in the afternoon, crafting your own indigo-dyed linen napkins to take home with you.
Provided the weather is kind and our growing season is going well! (come on British weather!) we will also show you the fresh indigo growing happily on the farm and will demonstrate a couple of techniques you can use to directly extract colour from the plants.
Tea/ coffee and cakes will be provided but please bring your own packed lunch.
Old clothes and sensible shoes are required as indigo dyeing can be very messy.
The ground in the flower patch can be uneven so please wear flat, suitable footwear. If it’s a wet day, please bring wellies or waterproof shoes as the ground may be muddy.
Please can you let us know if you have any food intolerances/ allergies that we should be aware of. This can be done by adding a note to the message box that will appear after you have clicked ‘add to basket’ or emailing hello@studioevig.com Thank you.
Our farm is located BS37 postcode area, approximately 30-45 mins from Bristol, Bath, Chippenham and Stroud. Full address detials will be provided upon booking.
