Indigo Under the Trees: Scenes from the April 12th workshop

Our most recent Indigo Dyeing workshop with The Charleston Museum took us outdoors at the amazing Dill Sanctuary, a property owned by the museum on James Island, just outside of Charleston. The weather was perfect and the students were, as usual, fun, interesting, eager to dye, and super creative!

The view. Breathtaking, isn't it?

The view in the other direction.

Charleston Museum Curator of Textiles, Jan Hiester, shares some indigo history.
Time to dive in!

Messy fun.
Experimenting with shibori techniques--gorgeous!
I love all the different shades of indigo.  It never gets old.


I dyed a silk scarf.  I love my job.
