About

Indigo has many blues to offer. Fresh indigo lends an ethereal, magical blue to silk and wool that is closer to turquoise than the deep blue we typically see with indigo.

At the beginning of this class, you will harvest indigo from the BARN Dye Garden. Then, you'll learn to dye a silk scarf or bandana and a sample skein of wool with fresh leaves that you harvested.

Details

  • You will be on your feet for the duration of the class, physically harvesting the indigo plants yourself. You must be comfortable using scissors and a blender.  

Materials

  • A $15 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need for this project.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome. Youth under 14 must register with a parent or guardian.
