Come and join textile artist Sam Jones for an introductory indigo session where she will show you how to make an indigo vat and encourage you to explore folded, tied and stitched indigo shibori techniques. During the session you will produce a series of indigo dyed fabrics that will remind you how to recreate the techniques explored. You will also have the opportunity to indigo dye your own tote bag.
