In addition to creating your swatch book, we'll also delve into more advanced techniques, such as making an Indigo Vat and dyeing with medicinal herbs (Ayurvastra). You'll discover the exciting world of "Well Fashion," which involves adding a little something extra to fabric or structure to improve wellness - the aspirational triad of physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
