Indigo: Anbau, Färbetechniken, Projekte

Applied arts professions


No other dye fascinates like indigo blue. In a society where almost all colors are chemically manufactured in large factories, indigo has achieved cult status. In this book, Douglas Luhanko and Kerstin Neumüller share their accumulated knowledge of this pigment, starting with growing the plants before delving deeply into the dyeing process. In addition, this book offers a number of projects that Indigo is particularly well suited to. Techniques such as shibori and sashiko can be used to create distinctive patterns or sew a patchwork quilt in different shades of blue.
