Using a cotton scarf and a T-shirt, create a personal resist tie-and-dye pieces using a range of found objects along with clamping, folding, or even stitching to create bindings that resist the indigo when dyed.

The Teachers
This class is led by staff from our dye studio. Dye Studio staff draw on their knowledge of Indonesia’s textile traditions and Threads of Life’s field work to guide the class’s visits to the dye studio and dye plant botanical garden, and to introduce the traditional natural dyes of Indonesia. They bring their experience and skill with indigo to the class’s dye work. Since 2000, our dye team has worked across the archipelago with natural dyers who are still making traditional textiles using ancestral recipes. These recipes must adapt as landscapes are changed and plant supplies alter, and would be lost without our work with communities to develop the sustainable cultivation and harvesting of dye plants.
