Explore the chemistry and artistry of the natural indigo vat with local artisan Lisa Margosian. We will learn about this vibrant blue pigment, pairing it with Japanese itajime shibori techniques, to create endless design possibilities. Everyone will take home their own beautifully patterned cotton bandana and silk scarf. Participants should wear clothes and shoes that they don’t mind possibly getting some blue dye on!

This workshop is open to Cornell students only. Space is limited.

This workshop is part of the Johnson Museum’s Art and Wellness series, made possible by a generous member of the Museum’s Advisory Council. Through art-making, participants can develop mindfulness skills to reduce stress and bolster their mental well-being.
