Summer Youth: Indigo Dyeing

Explore the use of indigo dyes to create color and design on fabrics. You will start with dyeing a Tee-shirt to learn the techniques. You’ll tie your fabric with string or stitch or clamp it and dip it into the dye pots–and you’ll be mazed at the patterns of blue and white that emerge! Then we will have suggestions for other projects that will further your exploration of fabric dyeing, allowing your creativity to blossom.

We’ll be outside in one of BARN’s dry outdoor classrooms, with plenty of space and air circulation. BARN will be practicing safety measures for the health and well-being of all participants, in accordance with state and CDC guidelines. Students and instructors will be required to wear masks, wash or sanitize hands frequently, maintain a distance of six feet between individuals, and stay home if they are sick.
