We will be holding this workshop, “DIY your DYE,” during the internationally celebrated Earth Day. Each year Earth Day has a different theme, and this year’s theme is “Restore Our Earth”.
Dyeing with your own hands is not only an opportunity to learn about dyeing techniques, but also to think about the impact of factory dyeing on the earth. The chemical substances discharged into the water by dyeing are still causing the death of aquatic organisms and the pollution of soil and water. Through DIY dyeing, let’s I take a step toward thinking about these issues while practicing alternative dyeing methods.
In this workshop, we will use Indian indigo.
You can either bring your own items to dye, or use the t-shirts or socks that we can provide (an additional fee of 500 yen will be charged). Indigo dyeing has been a widespread tradition in Japan since the Asuka period, and has been loved by many people for its beautiful colors and benefits. In recent years, attention to indigo dyeing has been gradually increasing due to the sustainable viewpoint in the fashion industry and the reevaluation of traditional culture.
The indigo products, which can be used for years to come, are perfect for those who care about the earth and want to keep using their products for a long time.
Once you see the beautiful indigo, you will never forget it! So come and experience it for yourself.
See you at FabCafe!
