INDIGO VAT EXPERIENCE
Cost: $80
Date:
Saturday, September 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Description: Indigo is one of the oldest natural dyes on the planet, but somewhere between pH, reducing agents, and pigment it can become a daunting process to take on alone. That's why Petit Fours & Purls has connected with Adam Blackburn (@franklymakes_fiberarts) to create the ultimate workshop to familiarize yourself with the 1-2-3 method (in addition to other types of vats), as well as with the complete physical process and the chemistry behind it.
Beyond the vat, each student will be given 200g of yarn with which they can possibly introduce some shibori-inspired resist. Or, they can use the yarn to play with more modern techniques or simply create beautiful blue yarn.
Materials (included in class fee): Two skeins of yarn, class workbook/notebook, access to presentation slides after class
Skill level: 18+ only
The class will be held outside the shop - please bring water and dress accordingly. We recommend you bring an apron or wear something you don’t mind getting stained.
