Weaving Water Videos

Welcome to the Weaving Water Workshop! Whether you are visiting a gallery installation on your own or helping out at an event, watch these videos to learn or refresh yourself on weaving and indigo. If you figure something out, share it with another person. The Workshop is a lab for practicing how to teach ourselves and share our learning with others.

The magic of indigo is in its chemistry. There is a printout in the magazine rack. Feel free to give this a whirl. You’ll need to fill the white bucket in the bathroom for dipping and rinsing before and after. The jar of Lake Superior water is for show. Please be careful with the indigo, it can be messy.
