Ai Katazome: Rice Resist and Indigo Dyeing

This workshop, led by Chinatsu Nagamune and Andrew Vlock of Codo, will cover the basics of the Japanese stencil and rice resist technique called Katazome. Learn how to create your own textile stencil. Attendees will also get the opportunity to apply their stencil to fabrics and then dye them in a natural indigo vat. All levels are welcome. Children 10 and up may attend if accompanied by a participating adult. The workshop is fully outdoors, so please dress appropriately!

Please bring: An item t-shirt size or smaller made of natural fiber (cotton, linen, hemp, silk etc.) cleaned without harsh chemical detergent (cannot be terrycloth/towel material). An apron or piece of clothing you would be comfortable getting dirty or stained. 

What you'll leave with: Four-piece napkin set dyed using your own stencil and design, your own original dyeing stencil for future use, plus additional pieces of clothing or fabric that you’ve dyed yourself. 

This workshop will also be offered on Saturday, July 16.
