Revive with Indigo Dyeing Workshop

Where
30 Carrington Rd
Marrickville NSW 2204
Australia
When

Saturday 19 October from 10am to 3pm

Cost

Adult: $110.00

Join in this fun communal dyeing day with indigo. In this two-part workshop, you will learn some basics of shibori tying techniques and then get to dip your item into the beautiful blue indigo dye bath.

It’s magic when you remove your piece from the bath and watch it change from green to blue as the indigo oxidises in the air – the next piece of magic occurs when you undo your shibori to reveal your individual patterning.

Knowledge required

None needed

What you'll get

You will leave with a newly revived piece of clothing ready to wear!

What to bring

  • Don’t buy anything new! Bring along a cotton piece of clothing, for example, a t-shirt or shirt (jeans or trousers too big for a communal bath) or cloth (largest 1.5m x 1.5m) you would like to give a second lease of life. Light colours are best but can be checks or stripes, for example. Please make sure your item is clean so that wonderful blue is absorbed and gives you the best results.Water Bottle

  • Pack lunch if preferred
