Last Saturday and this past Monday evening the Oko team facilitated two additional indigo dyeing workshops. It was a great challenge for the team, but so worth it to witness the joy of our workshop participants.
We covered
🌱The differences between fresh leaf method and using dye vats
🌱Fermentation vs. reduction vats
🌱Ratios for creating reduction vats
🌱And more!
The workshops were primarily outdoors (and chilly) so we prepared 2 two reduction vats ahead of time (henna & fructose) and created 2 additional vats with the participants.
We also created a workbook for the participants to guide them on their journey with indigo.
Last Saturday and this past Monday evening, the Oko team facilitated two additional indigo dyeing workshops!
It was an exciting challenge for our team, but one that was so worth it. Witnessing the joy of everyone made it all worthwhile.
Throughout the workshops, we explored:
* The differences between the fresh-leaf method and dye vats
* Fermentation vats vs. reduction vats
* Ratios and techniques for creating reduction vats
* And so much more!
Since the workshops took place primarily outdoors, we prepared two reduction vats in advance using henna and fructose, then created two additional vats together with our participants.
We also developed a workbook for participants to take home as a resource, supporting them as they continue their own indigo journeys beyond the workshop.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, learned alongside us, and shared in the joy of working with this incredible plant 🌱 . We can’t wait to see where your indigo journeys take you!
