Workshop Program - Indigo natural dye T-shirt renovate

Join us for a heartwarming celebration of Mother's Day with our upcoming Handicrafts Workshop!  We are excited to prepare an unforgettable Artistic T-shirt / Old Dress Remake Indigo Shibori Dye Workshop in 11 & 12 May 2024. Everyone is welcome to bring one piece of cotton / silk / linen top, skirt, hat or shawl. We'd like to supply white pure-cotton T-shirt (extra $15) also if you don't have old clothes that need to be remade.

Dive into the artistry of natural indigo dyeing as we create exclusive dresses together. Embrace the joy of crafting while bonding with your loved ones in a memorable experience that honors the special women in our lives. With a rustic charm and vibrant color, you will get a very natural indigo dyed daily T-shirt after this natural dye workshop.
