INDIGO VAT SET-UP aNd DYEING

Setting up an indigo vat is an act of dedication - the most magical and temperamental of natural dyes, indigo needs to be looked after with attention and patience, just like a living being. Drawing on years of research with artisans and our own experience with natural indigo processes, this two-day workshop at Nila House has been created as a set-wise introduction to setting up and maintaining a natural indigo studio vat, finishing with a session on using our vat for basic yarn and fabric dyeing techniques.

DAY 1: Set up a 5 litre indigo vat using lime powder as the base and tamarind as the reducing agent.

DAY 2: Explore the various dyeing possibilities with your indigo vat. Explore shibori, tie-dye, yarn dyeing, and dip dyeing processes.

Registrations close on 24th November, 6pm.
