I had the amazing opportunity to participate in a natural indigo dyeing workshop led by master dyer, Zee Bordeaux. We learned traditional Japanese shibori techniques, such as Itajime, Nui, and Kumo. After that, we learned the surprisingly meticulous and technical process of creating an indigo vat. Using the fabric swatches created at the workshop I created digital designs in Adobe Photoshop, and then put them into various repeats and simulated what some of them would look like as a wallpaper print.
