The Indigo Lab is a guided, open studio environment designed for working on personal dyeing projects. The first portion of each lab features an optional, hands-on tutorial covering a specific surface design technique; the remainder of the time is conducted as an “open studio” / each participant working independently. The studio instructor will be available to assist in developing a project idea, troubleshoot an issue, or review a technique.
Come and enjoy the luxury of a communal work space and an already prepared, deep blue indigo vat.
