Bengala Workshop III: Bengala x Indigo - Study Japanese Color Palette

  • Loop of the Loom DUMBO studio 197 Plymouth Street Brooklyn, NY, 11201 United States (map)

In this workshop, you will create multiple colors with natural indigo and dye while learning the technique of Makiage-shibori using a special tool.

The material to be dyed is hand-woven cotton called khadi from India. This large shawl has fringes around and measures 71" x 43". Makes a great shawl all year round.

The art and culture of wabi-sabi, which was based on the spirit of Zen, inspired the townspeople's fashion that was popular in Japan 200 years ago. They called the fashion color chart "四十八茶百鼠 48 Browns and 100 Grays". Layered indigo blue on Bengala colors to create a deep shade and enjoyed of expression in subtle hues.
