Indigo and Shibori Workshop Saturday, September 19th 10 AM - 1 PM
Come and explore the magic of indigo dyeing with Third Season and All We Remember Saturday, September 19th 10 AM - 1 PM. Each participant will have a t-shirt from All We Remember to a custom dye with local, sustainable The Roof Crop grown indigo. We're excited to invite you to a dye event using The Roof Crop grown indigo. We'll have organic indigo fructose vats ready for you to use, along with educational materials explaining how the vat was created. We will also provide materials for you to explore shibori (a Japanese dye resist) and other resist dyeing techniques. Due to the sensitive nature of our living, breathing indigo vat, we can only accommodate up to 10 individuals in the workshop. Guests will have the option to purchase and dye a bandana during the workshop for $65 Important note: Please remember to wear comfortable, scrubby clothes that you are comfortable getting wet and messy, as they may be exposed to vat conditions. Level This is an introductory workshop for beginners, but all skill levels are welcome. Cancellation Policy Tickets to this event are non-refundable. Please let us know if you wish to transfer your purchase to another guest if you are unable to attend. Location Event will be held in the Third Season Design Studio. Please enter on the Justine side of the building. Notice of Filming or Photography We may take photographs and videos during our events and workshops for promotional purposes.

Bios ALL WE REMEMBER is a collective founded with the belief that marrying innovative design and responsible ecological production is the best way forward. This ethos is encapsulated in our tagline: future | nature | forms. We do not identify as a sustainable brand because we know that full sustainability is not possible within our current society. Rather, we embrace responsibility, which means prioritizing ethics in all areas and levels of our business, while making space for conversation, change, and growth. Therefore, we source materials and production from partners who share our ethos, including American cut-and-sew manufacturers, Certified B Corporations, American and GOTS-certified mills, and local botanical dyers, and maintain a public list of Our Partners. We use only natural, biodegradable materials such as organic cotton fabrics, trims, and thread, corozo buttons, and plant-based dyes. Our labels, tags, and packaging materials are recyclable and/or compostable. We manufacture in small batches to limit overproduction, offer Care Instructions and a Repair Program to extend the life of our items, and upcycle or compost leftover materials from our production runs. We design our garments and accessories with an array of genders and bodies in mind. We believe in the relationship between clothing and its wearer: relaxed silhouettes and drawstring waists allow for adaptability based on personal preference and the movement of style over time.
