Dyeing with Indigo: Online Demonstration

  • Museum of Vancouver 1100 Chestnut Street Vancouver, BC, V6J 3J9 Canada (map)

We invite you to the fascinating world of dyeing with natural Indigo! Although it is not a traditional colour, it is certainly very interesting! Join Rita Kompst, Musqueam Artist and Zoe McDonell, Natural Dye Expert, for an Indigo dye workshop where we will briefly discuss the history of Indigo while dyeing! Each participant can pick up their dye sample card after the workshop. We will explore the incredible history of Indigo while participants learn how to set up an indigo vat, as well as techniques on dyeing their own animal and plant fibers. Learn how you can zero in on the perfect shade of blue and how indigo can be used for many more colours.
