Indigo Dyeing: kids workshop

Learn the art of natural dyeing and make your own mini textile masterpiece at this artist-led drop-in workshop in the Test Garden these school holidays.

Kids (and their grown-ups!) will join natural dye specialist Heather Thomas from the Australian Tapestry Workshop to discover the wonder of resist-dyeing.

Fold, tie and scrunch your fabric, then dunk it into the indigo vat and watch as your stunning patterns appear like magic.

Everything’s provided – just bring your imagination and be ready to get a little messy!
