Instructor Lauren Becker Downey

For those curious about Indigo dye and resist textile work, this is your opportunity to play and experiment. The Indigo plant makes a variety of shades of blue, commonly associated with denim. Explore the many possibilities of magical Indigo dyeing with bold and beautiful Shibori, the ancient Japanese art of dyeing natural fabrics and using resist techniques~ folding, clamping, stitching, twisting and compressing. Bring your washed 100% natural fibers; cotton, silk, hemp, bamboo, linen or rayon clothing or fabric to dye; scarves, t-shirts, runners, tote bags, bandanas or smaller pieces of fabric. Since the dye vat will be good for several days, please join us again the following day for the Alumni Indigo Dye Studio to continue the fun blues.

Students must wear a mask. As long as Covid is present in our community and breakthrough infection for the vaccinated is a reality, and while strangers gather in our studio for more than a few minutes, masks will be a requirement. Bravo’s studio classroom is like my home and I want us all to be healthy. ~ Lauren Becker Downey

Class enrollment is typically limited to 4 - 6 people in each class. If you and your friends want to attend and sit together in a class, but there is only one spot left, please email or call us to adjust the count so you both can register. :)
