Education
Indigo Dyeing with Connie Knudtson

Students learned the ancient art of indigo dyeing in this class taught by Connie.

Indigo is a plant dye that has been used around the world for thousands of years.
Indigo lends itself to resist-dyeing because it only turns blue in the presence of oxygen. Binding, stitching, clamping, waxing, and knotting are among the methods used to exclude oxygen and create resist effects.
