** Please note this class is held virtually over ZOOM. 24 hours before class you will receive a link for the class via email. **

Instructors: Adrienne Rodriguez and Kristine Vejar

Indigo is a term often used to describe the color blue - but what is it really? Using The Modern Natural Dyer and their newest book, Journeys in Natural Dyeing, as a reference, Kristine and Adrienne will guide you through the process of growing indigo, processing it into a dye, and dyeing with it to create gorgeous shades of blue ranging from sky to deep sea.

Techniques discussed will include:
+ growing Persicaria tinctoria (indigo)
+ composting P. tinctoria leaves and creating fermented indigo vats
+ extracting indigo pigment from P. tinctoria leaves
+ creating dye from P. tinctoria leaves
+ creating an indigo vat and dyeing with it

This lecture will include a short indigo dyeing demonstration so you can see the magic of dyeing with indigo for yourself!

Required Materials: Our books, Journeys in Natural Dyeing and The Modern Natural Dyer, are highly recommended.

All levels welcome

Adrienne and Kristine are the co-owners of AVFKW, and lead the on-site natural dyeing studio. In 2014, Adrienne and Kristine embarked on a journey to create a tiny indigo farm located in their small Oakland front yard. There they have practiced growing, extracting indigo pigment, dyeing with it and recording the process in their newest book, Journeys in Natural Dyeing, so others can try this incredible process.
