An in person workshop with Olivia Clanton


Join textile artist Olivia Clanton for an in-depth exploration in Indigo surface design techniques! Students will learn how to make and sustain a natural indigo vat and create six traditional Shibori patterns, an ancient Japanese resist dye technique. Olivia will walk students through several designs and examples of each before being set free to create designs of your own. After students complete their sample swatches, students will get two cotton bandanas or tea towels to experiment their favorite technique with.
