Natural indigo cakes in the shop now
Beautiful indigo pigment cakes from India styled and photographed by the superb @megan_morton
The colour is so intense reminds me of rich velvet or an Anish Kapoor sculpture.
Some beautiful dye workshops are in the pipeline and will be listed online soon.
If you want your own high quality indigo cakes just to stare at or dye with they are available through my shop.
Natural indigo swatches
Indigo on linen. Each of these samples were pre washed and scoured. The darkest indigo sample required over ten dips. A beautiful deep indigo.
Student dye journals
Student natural dye journals. What beautiful bright reds can be achieved naturally. I am so looking forward to exploring and teaching natural dye to a whole new year group at university. If you would like to learn more too there will be some super special public workshops @theschoolinstagram coming soon too!
This beautiful red come from the tiny crushed insect cochineal.
