Indigo Dyed Scarf
Make-and-Take
with Kelly Walsh
Fri, May 19, 2023, 6:00 – 9:00 PM EDT
Dye your own scarf with indigo!
In this fast class during Durham's Third Friday Art Walk, Liberty Artist KELLY WALSH will teach a little bit about the history and science of indigo, and then you will apply that knowledge in dyeing your very own scarf. You have a choice between silk or bamboo fabric for your scarf. You can purchase additional scarves as an add-on for the class if you wish to dye more than one item. Each additional scarf is $20, if you wish to purchase multiple additional scarves increase the add on amount by $20 for each scarf. For example, if you wish to dye four scarves during the class you would need to purchase three additional scarves. 3 x $20 = $60 so you would enter the amount $60 for the add on.
No previous experience is necessary. All materials and equipment will be provided.
