In this series of workshops, create beautiful and functional items for your home by immersing yourself in the indigo process. 

This week, create a hand-dyed table runner while learning the technique of batik! Explore traditional and contemporary tools for mark-making with a hot wax resist. Your designs will be beautifully contrasted with blue hues after dipping your wax designs in the indigo vat.
