Join local artist Daisy McClellan for her Indigo Dye for the Home Workshop. In this class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of using indigo dye from beginning to end and dye your own throw pillow and tea towel. We’ll discuss the history of indigo in South Carolina and then dive into how to create a dye vat and various shibori tie-dye methods that reveal beautiful patterns. You’ll go home with 1 throw pillow cover and 1 tea towel you custom dye. We love using our tea towel in the kitchen and bathroom as a hand towel but many of our students frame them and turn them into wall art. The possibilities are endless!

Space is limited to 35 participants at $40 per person. Advanced payment and registration is required! Click HERE to purchase.

Handmade right here in the Lowcountry from Palmetto Palm fronds, these roses are crafted when the palm is green and pliable. It will change from green to light brown as it dries.

The Palmetto Rose has many legends associated with them and is often viewed as an element of the local Gullah/Geechee culture.
