Fresh Leaf Indigo Dyeing Class 2024
This one is a great Mother/Daughter class. Harvest fresh leaf indigo from my garden and using only salt and the juices from the leaves, dye a silk satin handkerchief a lovely teal green. When dyeing with indigo on silk fibers, no mordant is necessary. Leaves are simply macerated with salt and the pigments transfer to the silk like magic. You will finish the workshop with your own 17”x17” silk satin hanky that can be worn as a scarf or a head wrap.
