Indigo on Material Surfaces
 

A two-day research session exploring how natural indigo interacts with different materials. Participants experiment with indigo on textile, paper, wood, and other organic surfaces while observing how fibres absorb, resist, and transform colour through oxidation.

Process

This workshop explores how indigo interacts with different material surfaces.

Participants are introduced to a natural indigo reduction vat and begin working across textile, paper, wood, and other organic materials.


Each surface responds differently — through absorption, resistance, and texture.

Rather than a fixed outcome, the workshop is approached as a space for observation and experimentation.

Participants are invited to test, compare, and develop their own material understanding through process.

Some techniques are introduced — others emerge through practice.
