Segment FOUR A B C - Indigo Extravaganza
See what's inside:
4 – A Indigo on Paper and Non-Fiber Materials
In this session, I’ll cover vat dyeing on paper as well as dyeing terracotta tile, leather, and wood
4 – B Landscapes and Direct Painting with Indigo
A great many folks limit their vision to dyeing solid colors, and perhaps stretch a bit into patterns and textures. But have you ever considered simply as an art medium? I’ll sharing with several unique methods I’ve developed for creating painterly artwork. For this session, I’ll be focusing on landscapes with the understanding that the processes covered may be applied to whatever your imagination conjures up.
4 – C Designing Garments with Fresh Leaf and Reduced Indigo
My career has been based on my passion for textiles and the garments created from them. For the last session in this series, I’ll be walking you through the steps I employ to create my one-of-a-kind fashions, making use of all the forms of indigo we’ve covered over the past few weeks, and at the same time, presenting how to incorporate other natural dye sources for added interest.
