Special Teen Hang Out: Art of Indigo Dye

Special Teen Hang Out: Art of Indigo Dye

The process of dyeing with indigo is magical. As you dip fabric in the dye vat and pull it out, the color changes from yellow to blue in front of your eyes as it oxidizes in the air. Learn the history and science behind indigo dye, how a synthetic vat is mixed, how to create different shibori resists with fabric, and dye two bandana scarves to keep.

Limited to the first 15 participants. For ages 11-18 only.

This program is funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
