How to Dye with Natural Indigo: from dharmatrading.com
If you attended our workshop WE MAKE shibori with indigo Wednesday June 26th this is a link: DHARMA TRADING and resource for your future indigo dyeing For 1 lb. of fiber or fabric you will need the following: • ½ oz Indigo for light blue or 1-2 oz for darker blues. • ½ oz Dharma Dyehouse Color Remover (Thiorea Dioxide) • ½ oz Soda Ash • 2-3 gallons of water Important: Before starting any dye project you should always do a test run on scrap fabric first. Dyeing with Indigo is a process with many variables, and as with any new process, common sense dictates that you always TEST FIRST if you have something specific in mind. Natural Indigo is very hard and does not dissolve in water, but you need to get it into as fine of particles as possible. Soak it overnight in a cup of hot water, and blend it in a blender with the soaking water. Next strain it through some cheesecloth and scrape the residue out and blend it again. This will give you very good results. Alternatively, you may also put the dry Natural Indigo into an electric coffee grinder and pulverize it; it can then be cooked and strained like other dyes. Place the strained Indigo into a large pot of water. In a separate jar, dissolve the Soda Ash in some warm water. Add the Soda Ash solution to the Indigo and stir. This increases the PH of the dyebath to prepare for "reducing" the dye and making it soluble in water. Add half (1/4 oz) of the Dharma Color Remover and stir gently. Heat to between 120°F and 130°F continuing to stir gently. The liquid should appear yellow or yellow-green and may even have a bit of a ”scummy” appearance – somewhat like a witch’s cauldron; this is okay. Let the mixture stand for 20 minutes. *If the water appears blue, too much oxygen has entered the dye bath and you will have to add more Dharma Color Remover into the bath and stir GENTLY to reduce the indigo. To get the best tones from the indigo, you should avoid letting too much oxygen get into the pot as it causes the dye to precipitate out of solution. This means you must work much more slowly and gently than with other colors. You may find it helpful to tie a line of thread to one corner of your fabric before immersing it in the dye as this will make it easy to fish your fabric out of the pot without stirring excess air into the dye bath. After the dye has steeped for 20 minutes you may then add your fabric. The wet, pre-washed fabric can be compressed into a ball, lowered into the dye bath and then allowed to expand. Again, stir GENTLY. The first fabrics will only need to be immersed for a few minutes to absorb the maximum color while fabrics added later may need to stay in for 5 to 10 minutes. When the fabric is removed from the dye pot, it should first look yellow-green and then turn blue after it comes into contact with the oxygen in the air. This is where the dye is "oxidizing" again, and becoming once more insoluble in water, which is what makes it stay "trapped" in the fibers of the fabric. You can also re-do the dyeing more than once - successive "dippings" and oxidizing yields deeper and deeper blues, and is the best way to get dark color. When you have reached your desired depth of shade, you need to wash out the chemicals and excess Indigo. As with all dyes, wash out the fabric in Hot water and Synthrapol to get out the all of excess dye. This is a very important process, or the dye will "crock" or rub off on you and you will look like you are trying out for the "Blue Man Group". If your color has turned out unevenly you can repeat the dye process to help even out the color.
Such a colorful result! Some of the "gems" from May's WE MAKE watercolors workshop @Yellow108. Our workshop-goers not only got a quickie lesson of over 15 watercolor techniques, they also got to experiment with them and create an awesome full sized painting. Each student chose a pattern or a shape to repeat, using their new watercolor skills!
Join us next week for our last wednesday, WE MAKE watercolor workshop. We will be exploring a few fun watercolor techniques, then making a small painting. This is part of our workshop series in Long Beach at Yellow 108.
For the bio if we can make it all a bit smaller...

a few photos from WE MAKE Prints workshop @ AOSA Project in Huntington Beach on April 11, 2013 We had such a fantastic turn-out for our first workshop at AOSA Project. Everyone came together, inspired by California natives, to create some one of a kind prints, using recycled cardboard and salvaged fabric.
