Indigo and shibori patterns, April 26-28, 2024
A warm welcome to an intensive and inspiring short course with indigo and shibori patterns. We will jointly put indigo baths according to the 123 method with natural indigo pigment. Along with indigo dyeing, we work with different shibori techniques, with the main focus on different methods of creating patterns with stitches. You can try to make different samples and dye a larger material. We combine indigo with other dye plants that contain tannins in combination with iron to create a color scale from blue to brown and grey/black. And we will work on over-dyeing to create beautiful combinations and patterns.
The course is aimed both at beginners and at those who have prior knowledge of dyeing.

We apply continuous admission. When a course has enough applicants to fill course and reserve places, we close the possibility to apply for the course. The selection for the course is based on your motivation in the application and the desire to have a spread in the group. We will provide feedback on an ongoing basis. That is, the time it takes to receive notification can vary. Notification is sent via email. Upon admission, information is given about payment and confirmation of course place. In case of non-payment, we offer the course place to the next person in line. You who apply must be 18 years old. If you need to withdraw your offer due to obstacles or illness, a refund will be made with 50% of the course fee.
Material:
There are fabrics in cotton, silk and wool for sale at cost price. You can also buy indigo pigment for your own indigo bath. It is also fine to bring your own fabrics made from natural materials. Expect to be able to dye a maximum of 500 g of fabric/person. We provide all the materials needed, but if you have your own tools such as needles, thread and scissors, it's great to bring them!
