In this dynamic and physical workshop we will learn the techniques and processes of Dabu (mud resist) and indigo dyeing, working with different methods of mud resist application such as block printing, freehand brush application and experimentation with clamp dye and Shibori techniques.
We will learn how to prepare and use the indigo vat for dyeing. In addition to the indigo dyeing process we will explore producing different colors and tones, by over-dyeing with other vegetable and pigment dyes including pomegranate, turmeric, and kassis. We will also have the opportunity to embellish the finished mud and indigo work with pigment over printing and specialist gold and silver printing.
Encouraged to experiment with and explore the enormous potential of the technique, blending tradition with a contemporary approach to create a unique and exciting body of work which will be displayed in our group exhibition at the close of the programme.
