The participants will learn the basic instructions of dyeing with indigo crystals and several acid and chemical vat-dyes. The special of this coloring is the possibility of overdyeing dark colors with lighter colors. With the japanese shibori technics as arashi shibori, stitch resist shibori and oui nui shibori based on fabric samples like wool, silk, cotton, linen and viscose you will make the most complicated textures.
