This experience is only available to those who have participated in the "Genuine Indigo Dyeing Experience."

"The blue of life"

A moment to dye with your own hands.

■ About this experience

"Tie-dye" is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique. This technique creates patterns by folding, sewing, and tying fabric, and each stitch and tie has the gentleness and strength that can only be achieved by hand. In this experience, you will learn the basic techniques of tie-dyeing, and actually dye the fabric with your own hands, then dye it with indigo. You will have fun opening the fabric and seeing what pattern will be created. It is time to finish your own unique piece of fabric, with no two pieces being the same.
