About the Workshop
Unlock the secrets of indigo dyeing in our immersive workshop, "The Art of Indigo Dyeing." Join us for a hands-on experience where you'll delve into the fascinating world of this ancient dyeing technique that has deep roots in South Carolina's history.
Indigo, once a thriving crop in South Carolina, played a pivotal role in shaping the region's economic landscape during the 18th and 19th centuries. The indigo plant, scientifically known as Indigofera tinctoria, was cultivated for its vibrant blue dye, which became highly sought after worldwide. South Carolina's indigo plantations contributed significantly to the global indigo trade, leaving an indelible mark on the state's history.
