Join this Shibori indigo dyeing workshop in Lewes for a playful, experimental way to create patterns on fabric using traditional Japanese Shibori-inspired methods of folding, clamping, tying and binding.
You'll work with a homemade indigo vat to dye vintage linens and repurposed materials, plus a large canvas bag, watching them transform into magical indigo blues before your eyes. All materials are provided and no experience is necessary – just bring an enthusiasm to experiment and play.
You'll be guided throughout by Clare O'Leary, an art therapist and textile artist known for working with natural dyes and pigments, plants, flowers and found materials. Clare's practice centres on process, transformation and the natural landscape, so expect a session that feels as reflective as it is hands-on.
By the end of the evening, you'll have created your own beautifully dyed pieces using techniques you can keep experimenting with at home.
