This class starts with an introduction to Threads of Life and the work of the natural dye studio, including a walk around the dye plant garden and an overview of traditional natural dyes from Indonesia. After the instructions, you will create your first personal resist tie-and-dye piece using a range of found objects, along with clamping, folding, or even stitching to create bindings that resist the indigo dye. Starting with a small prayer flag, progressing to a scarf, and ending with a T-shirt, the outcome is always a surprise!
You will receive a cotton T-shirt, a 50 x 50 cm 100% cotton handkerchief, white pre-scoured cotton cloth to explore the technique, two 30 x 60 cm prayer flags to hang in our garden and at home, and a 220 x 54 cm cotton scarf-size cloth.
All workshop tools and materials, as well as snacks, beverages such as coffee and tea, free-flowing drinking water, and lunch, are provided. Please note that this workshop is not suitable for children under 10 years old.
