Sunday, June 29th
10am - 1pm
Led by Cait Nolan with assistance from Laura Hricko.
In this workshop we will harvest and process the Japanese indigo grown in Cait’s dye garden.
Together in the garden-side dye studio we will experiment with a variety of fresh leaf dyeing methods including: ice water, salt rub and hapazome.
As we work, Cait will demystify the natural chemical processes at play in the transformation from leaf green to indigo blue. Things will get technical but, don’t worry, it will still feel like magic.
All materials are included in the registration fee including a soy pre-treated cotton bandana (24” X24”), a Handwoven Mulberry Silk Bandana 21” x 21”, raw silk sample and 1 page informational handout.
This workshop will be held at Cait’s home dye studio in Williamstown, NJ (about 30 minutes from Philadelphia).
Participants are welcome to bring up to 500 grams of additional fiber to dye.
If you register before April 1st, included in registration is 1 packet of 150 Japanese indigo seeds (saved from my plants) which will be mailed to you upon registration.
Please review my refund policy prior to finalizing your payment.

Any withdrawal notice must be received 14 days prior to the first day of a workshop for a full refund. Students who wish to withdraw fewer than 14 days before the first day of the workshop will be issued a 50% refund following the above procedure.
