Indigo Intro Workshop in Berlin
Nächste Termine: 30. November 2025 (voll)
22. Februar 2026, 11 bis 14.30 Uhr | Lichtenberg
Dye blue naturally with indigo.
People have been dyeing with indigo for thousands of years. The path to natural blue is not straight forward, and there is not just one: traditionally, it involves fermentation and requires a lot of time and experience.
In this workshop, you will learn about two quicker variations that do not require strong chemicals and are also suitable for use at home.
You don't need any previous knowledge - the workshop is suitable for beginners as well as for people who want to learn about alternatives to indigo dyeing with ammonia and sodium dithionite. Please write to me if you would like to clarify whether the workshop is suitable for you.
Together we will prepare an organic mini indigo vat (vat is the name of the indigo dye bath) for each participant, which you can continue experimenting with at home. And we also dye blue here in the studio!
Following the recipes you will learn in the workshop, you can dye with indigo yourself. We will discuss how to maintain the indigo vats and which recipes are particularly suitable for certain fibers.
If you like, you can also try a simple folding method for blue and white patterns - like shibori.
What you get:
• a series of our samples
• a comprehensive booklet
• a mini indigo vat to continue dyeing at home
• everyone can also bring something small to dye blue - such as a pair of socks, a hair band or a bandana.
Please bring a well-fitting FFP2 mask for working with the fine indigo pigment.
Where: The workshop will take place in my studio, Studios ID, Genslerstr. 13, 13055 Berlin.
The studio is on the 3rd floor, there is an elevator.
