Indigo - The Queen of Dyes. A workshop with Caroline Bell

Here’s something to really look forward to! On 18th - 19th April Caroline Bell will be coming to run a two day workshop on the magical dye, Indigo.

We will be using 3 different recipes based on Michel Garcias 1-2-3 organic vats.

There will be recipes and methods for the 3 different vats – we will be managing, trouble shooting and reviving vats.

We will be using some basic shibori and other resist techniques for example flour paste resists.

We will be able to overdye unsatisfactory rust and eco prints.

We will be overdyeing with other natural dyes including some surprising and unexpected results!

We will be dyeing, on the whole to produce sample sized pieces. Huge meterage tends to kill the vat for several hours. Instruction is given regarding this so participants can continue at home.

The two day course will cost £110, and will be in Cinderford, the Forest of Dean.
