Get over your fear of dyeing in this hands-on, beginner level workshop that will teach you how to dye with fresh indigo leaves and a minimum of tools. In this workshop, students will process fresh indigo leaves, learn to tie fabric to create intricate designs, and dye a silk scarf and a cotton handkerchief using an indigo ice blending method. Skip the intensive process of mixing chemicals, heating water, and needing a friend to help move heavy pots; learn to dye cold and alone!

Instructor: Gynna Clemes

Gynna Clemes is a wife, momma, and maker. A mostly self-taught maker, Gynna has a relaxed view on creating, believing that there are many tips and tricks to learn but few steadfast rules. During daylight hours, Gynna and her son Hank are typically found outside working on their farm, Seven Four Pigment Farm, growing plants and dyeing with them. Gynna designs and sews for her Hank and Momma Clothing line, creating comfy cozy clothing for mom and babe, using materials grown and made in the USA.
