Indigo Explorations: Conversation and Indigo Workshop

On May 23, join HCF for an intimate and specially created workshop exploring traditional and contemporary indigo dyeing techniques inspired by our current exhibit, Indigo: Variations in Blue at the Aiken-Rhett House Museum. This hands-on experience features three local artists demonstrating wax resist dye, string resist dye, and arashi pole-wrap indigo dyeing techniques, and the exhibit’s curator Bindu Gude. Guests will begin the program with a conversation between the artists and curator and then dive right into working with indigo alongside the artists. Take home your own dyed tea towel while learning the rich history and cultural significance of indigo. Light refreshments are included. $55 per person, all supplies included. Program designed for ages 17+. Registration required.
