During the bath, the colour gradually transforms the fabric while the reserved areas remain protected and reveal the design at the end of the process. The approach is inspired by Japanese stencil-resist techniques such as katazome, while also exploring other contemporary resist formulations and processes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eI want to continue learning — 4 hours\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA first experience to discover how resist paste can be used to create patterns before dyeing. Using stencils prepared in advance, you will experiment with applying the paste to fabric and follow the different stages through to the indigo bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou will learn to:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand how a drawing can be transformed into a stencil;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edraw and cut a simple stencil;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand the characteristics of a resist paste;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eapply the paste precisely;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtrol thickness and definition;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erepeat and position a motif;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexplore rhythm and composition;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efollow successive dips in indigo;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand the importance of oxidation between dips;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eremove the resist;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompare and record the results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end, you take home:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyour stencil;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edifferent tests;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea small sampler of resists and indigo;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea piece with your own pattern;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea practical guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eI want to gain my autonomy — 1 day\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA day to go through the process more autonomously, from preparing the indigo vat to creating and revealing a pattern using resist paste and a stencil.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe begin by preparing the indigo vat and understanding the elements needed for it to work. While following the vat’s development, you will develop your own motif, create the stencil and prepare the fabric with resist paste. When the vat is ready, we move on to dyeing, working with successive dips and oxidations to build the intensity of the blue. At the end, the paste is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou will learn to:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand how an indigo vat works;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprepare an indigo vat;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand the role of pigment, reducing agent and base;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eobserve the development of the vat and recognise the main signs that it is ready for dyeing;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edevelop a motif suited to the technique;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edraw and cut a stencil;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprepare the fabric for applying the resist;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eapply resist paste through the stencil;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtrol the amount, thickness and definition of the application;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erepeat and position the motif to build a pattern;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eproperly prepare the samples and piece for dyeing;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecarry out successive dips and oxidations;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eremove the resist paste and reveal the pattern;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompare the tests and interpret the results;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand the basic principles for monitoring and continuing to use the vat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end, you take home:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyour stencil;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edifferent samples and tests;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea final piece with your own pattern;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea practical guide to the procedures;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknowledge to continue exploring resists, patterns and indigo more autonomously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNote: in this format, the aim is to learn to prepare and understand an indigo vat, as well as to complete the resist and dyeing process.
