Step into the fascinating world of indigo dyeing with fiber artist and natural dyer Timothy Deliyannides!

Discover the transformation that has captivated artists for centuries as textiles emerge from the dye vat green and gradually turn brilliant blue through oxidation. Participants will create their own hand-dyed pieces, including a silk scarf, cotton handkerchief, and three mini-skeins of wool yarn.

Along the way, you'll learn simple resist techniques to create unique patterns and explore how repeated dips in the indigo vat produce a range of beautiful blue hues. Timothy will also share the remarkable history of indigo—once the world's most important blue dye—and its connection to the historic American coverlets featured in the McCarl Coverlet Gallery.

No prior experience is necessary!

If time permits, participants may bring additional natural-fiber items to dye (up to 8 oz. dry weight; no synthetic materials).
