Join Arianne King Comer at the dyeing vat as she relates the history of indigo and teaches different resist-dyeing methods, particularly traditional batik, adire (Yoruba), and shibori (Japanese) techniques of designing on cloth.
We began working with artist and indigo advocate King Comer in 2017. Her annual residency, IBILE! Ancestral Call in Cloth, went virtual during the pandemic, but in 2022 she returned and her outdoor, all-ages studio is, once again, under the big tent.
We will have some muslin yardage available, as well as muslin garments that will be available for purchase should you want to dye your own “healing coat.” You may bring your own garments or yardage (up to three per person).
Pre-registration is required. Dress for dyeing and consider bringing your own rubber gloves (dishwashing variety).
