Indigo day

It was all a bit of a challenge - would it be a good day for the indigo workshop?    Rain, rain, rain, but on the day the sun shone.   It was almost tropical heat - perfect.

I take about three workshops with children during the summer holidays.   Usually tie dye with Procion dyes.  Time to introduce them to the magical indigo vat.   We had a wonderful afternoon, and all went well.   Such excitement in the process, and then undoing the folding, wrapping, tying etc.

We all went home with smiles and very blue hands.

For once I actually had time to take some photos.

The pattern of the day, plus what we like to call an explosion!
