SUMMARY:Member Event: Leaf to Vat: Indigo Aqueous Extraction & Organic Vat Building
DESCRIPTION:Cait’s Dye Studio & Garden \nSaturday\, September 6th\, 10 am – 5 pm and Sunday\, September 7th\, 10 am – 1 pm\nWilliamstown\, NJ \nLead by Cait Nolan with assistance from Laura Hricko. During this two day hands on workshops we will explore aqueous extractions\, indigo pigment rendering and organic vat making. We will harvest Japanese indigo leaves growing on site\, use the aqueous extraction method to create homegrown indigo pigment and then use homegrown indigo pigment to build two different types of organic indigo vats. Cait has been growing Japanese indigo from seed\, processing pigment and building organic vats for 6 years. She can’t wait to share her perspective and experience. If you are growing indigo bearing plants and you want to learn to take them from leaf to vat this workshop is for you. All materials are included in the registration fee including an organic cotton shawl (44” x 89”)\, fabric for test strips\, one 64oz mason jar and a multi page informational hand out. Participants are welcome to bring up to 1kg of additional natural fiber to dye.
