Following on from very successful workshops on botanical printing, we are delighted to welcome back Elisabeth Viguie Culshaw for a weekend specialising in indigo dyeing and pattern making. Elisabeth is a well-known textile artist working with Indigo and an Indigo plant grower in Scotland at The Indigo Plot, her natural dye garden well worth visiting in the Glasgow Botanical garden. In this weekend workshop she will help you understand the mechanism of vat making and Indigo dyeing to create patterns on cloth. On day one we will learn about the Indigo pigment and how to create a blue dye vat from it. We will learn to select material and prepare it and various forms of resist that will help us create patterns. On day two after we will experiment on samples before creating some larger pieces made of recycled cotton and linen. Fructose and synthetic vats will be set up and samples of recycled material (cotton and linen) will be provided. Please bring on day one one or two small items of clothing you will be able to dye on day two. (tee shirts, scarves). They need to be clean, but not necessarily white. You don't need any prior knowledge for this workshop but please wear old clothes and bring some gloves together with a plastic bag to take home your wet dyed clothes. If you wish to take home a share of the vats, bring a clean plastic bottle, we will share the vat content at the end of the workshop. (up to 4 liters).
