Indigo has many blues to offer. Fresh indigo lends an ethereal, magical blue to silk and wool that is closer to turquoise than the deep blue we typically see with indigo.

You'll harvest indigo from the BARN Dye Garden, then learn to dye a silk scarf or bandana and a sample skein of wool with fresh leaves that you harvested.

Details

You'll be on your feet for the duration of the class, physically harvesting the indigo plants yourself. You must be comfortable using scissors and a blender.  

Materials

A $15 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers everything you'll need for this project.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome. Youth under 14 must register with a parent or guardian.
