Indigo Dyeing Workshop: April School Vacation Week Program
Pricing: Tickets $10. Email education@clartart.edu if this fee is a barrier to your participation.
Explore the connections between art and nature by making your own artwork with natural materials. Join artist and Williams professor, Junli Song, to dye a silk scarf (that’s yours to keep!) with shibori indigo dyeing techniques. Experience the magic of watching a vat of gold-green indigo dye turn your scarf a vibrant blue! At the beginning of the workshop, get inspired by an educator-led look at Aboubakar Fofana’s Bana Yiriw ni Shi Folow (Trees and Seeds of Life), an indigo-dyed artwork in the outdoor exhibition Ground/work 2025. While you’re at the Lunder Center, check out How Shall We Live: Berkshire Youth Artists Explore Their Relationship with the Earth in the Time of Climate Change, a student art show on view in the Hunter Studio from
Saturday, April 18–Saturday, April 25, 12–5 pm.
Recommended for ages 8–17. For children 12 and under, a guardian must remain nearby for the duration of the workshop. Workshop takes place outdoors; please dress for the weather and for the mess!
