Description

Learn to dye silk in beautiful turquoise tones with locally grown fresh indigo leaves. Join us for a morning on the farm as we harvest fresh indigo leaves and process them for color! Participants will receive instruction on using indigo to dye silk scarves and any 100% silk garments that need a refresh. Fresh leaf indigo techniques are effective on animal fibers including silk, wool, alpaca, and angora- participants are welcome to bring these materials from home. Guest dyer, Emily Morabito of Remedy Studios will lead the workshop. Morabito is a natural dyer, adaptive design consultant, and graduate of the Fashion Design program at Parsons School of Design. She apprenticed under Philip Huang, NYC based designer specializing in traditional Thai indigo dyeing techniques. She is currently the Director of Visuals for Hampden Clothing and resides in Charleston, SC where she reworks vintage silk with indigo and dye flowers grown in her backyard.
