Introduction to Indigo - two day workshop with Wild Heather

Join us for a two day workshop run by @wildheather_australia and hosted by Nomad Farms to learn all about natural indigo. Wild Heather is a textile studio run by maker Heather Thomas. Heather has been exploring the plant kingdom + the extraction of colour + working with natural fibres + plant colour for more than two decades and we are thrilled to be hosting her here at Nomad Farms again. Heather’s 2022 class was a sell out.

You will learn how to make and maintain your own 20 litre natural indigo vat, yours to take home to continue dyeing with following the workshop. You will learn how to dye cotton cloth and Nomad wool yarn with indigo and experiment with some simple patterning techniques. This workshop is for beginners and dyers looking to further their skills, it is also the perfect continuation from our Introduction to Natural Dyeing workshop as you can overdye samples from this workshop in the indigo vat.

$270 pp for two days.

9am - 3pm both days.

Morning and afternoon tea provided BYO lunch.

All materials for this course are supplied and included in the price.
