Are you interested in learning how to turn fabric into luxurious shades of blue by using plants alone? Ever wanted to learn how to make different Japanese ‘tie dye’ Shibori designs on fabric? Are you ready for a peek into the magical, mysterious and ancient art of Indigo & Shibori dyeing? Then join the husband & wife team behind Gaia’s Magical Goods from Carrboro as they lead their Intro to Natural Indigo Dyeing & Shibori Workshop!
Courtney and Reverdy became obsessed with Indigo four years ago when searching for eco-friendly textile dyeing techniques. They have been busy dyeing ever since, selling magical handmade goods at local and online markets. They also love to share what they’ve learned about natural Indigo vat maintenance, how they make their unique designs using their favorite Shibori folding techniques and even tips on how to grow Japanese Indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) at home!
