About this Event
After a break for the COVID -19 "stay at home" period, we welcome our friends to this 6-hour workshop in which students will discover the magic of Indigo dyeing with Bethany Garner!
This class is designed to share multiple techniques that delight and stimulate creativity and result in a beautiful collection of hand-dyed fabric samples for you to work with after class. Learn about fabric preparation, stitching, clamping, and wrapping techniques.
Enjoy instructor-led demonstrations and free time to create! The Workshop focuses on ‘easy to use at home’, studio bucket dyeing methods that everyone can use and take away for further exploration as they develop their new skills.
