Indigo Dyeing
Indigo has an expansive history — it has over 6,000 years imprinted on our global collective so it may take a few lifetimes to learn everything we can about this plant.
Indigo has been cultivated for medicinal, spiritual, religious purposes and more. It is deeply rooted throughout various cultures from West Africa to Southeast Asia to South America. The Indigo plant connects to divinatory practices, marks of initiation, and is the only (as we know it) natural plant that can yield such magnificent hues of blue.
