This intensive workshop focusses on Aboubakar’s speciality, the fermented West African indigo dye-vat, made using whole indigo leaves and fermented over a week to produce a dye of unmatchable colour and fastness. Participants will both dye with a pre-existing fermentation vat and prepare a new fermentation vat. They will also learn how to prepare and use powdered fructose (quick vat) indigo, mineral mud-dye, and tannin dyeing.
