Community Indigo Dye Vat with local artist Jaya Griscom

Saturday, June 7, 1 p.m. - 2.30 p.m.

Sunday, June 8, 11 a.m. - 12.30 p.m.

Studio U4, Cubberley Community Center.

We'll meet in Studio U4 at Cubberley to prep our items and indigo dye them. Each participant is invited to dye one item--either a provided square of cotton fabric or a clean, small, natural-fiber item that you bring with you. Cubberley Artist-in-Residence Jaya Griscom will provide a few resist examples for inspiration, but you'll mostly be on your own to play around with your design. If you have a particular vision, you're welcome to do your own research on how to achieve the extensive patterns possible through folding, scrunching, tying, and clamping.

Jaya will have prepared our Indigo vat in advance, but she'll be happy to share how she did so, for anyone who wants to make their own vat in the future. Space is limited, so sign ups are necessary.
