Segment TWO C - Indigo Extravaganza
 
This particular option is for Segment TWO C – Reduction Vats Starting with Mystery Sources
In this session we’ll delve into accessing the inner child of several mystery indigo sources – including John’s Cow Pie Indigo vat (also known as Cry Baby Indigo). In essence, these will all be vats made from left over bits of this and that, including what may be considered the orphan children of the deep recesses of your studio refrigerator–sources for which we may not easily determine the volume of indigotin present in calculating the other ingredients crucial to a reduction vat.

This link is for session TWO C, $125
or pick and choose as you like – individual sessions, three-part segments, or the full twelve session course
 
The download you'll receive is a pdf file with links to recordings of Zoom sessions in an online class setting, available for you to download and keep for future reference. You're also welcome to follow up by emailing your questions to John for a thorough response.
 
The twelve-session program covers every facet of traditional Japanese indigo dyeing along with innovative variations straight out of John’s brain – the goal is to leave you with a thorough understanding of how Persicaria tinctoria works and to be able to venture off on your own with confidence. We'll be working on silk, cotton, hemp, wood, leather, and tiles, paper.

    1A – Just What is Japanese Indigo?
    A thorough exploration of how indigo functions along with how to achieve the broadest range of colors possible through various extraction techniques and pH manipulation – including yellow, green, cinnabar, and purple.

     

    1 – B Fresh Leaf Direct Application
    Applying the fresh leaves directly to the fiber may seem simple enough but in reality, it can be a tricky procedure. Over the past fifty years,  I’ve developed a great many tricks and tips to allow you the greatest artistic expression with this simplest of materials.

     

    1 – C Fresh Leaf pH Neutral Cold Bath
    One of the joys of working with Persicaria is the ability to achieve so many effects with so little. The basic fresh-leaf bath is easy to prepare, and, in this segment, we’ll be covering a myriad of approaches to take advantage of the quirky nature in which the dye stains the fiber. This allows for a broad range of shades of blue and green as well as complex surface patterning.
