I enjoyed discovering how a different fold could transform the pattern. The demonstrations made it easy for me to pause, practise at my own speed, and move from simple designs to more intricate ones.

I had some experience with textile dyeing, and these lessons gave me fresh methods to experiment with. I particularly liked exploring the effect of changing the folds and the way the fabric resists the dye.

I wanted to try paste resist but needed a starting point. The lessons helped me understand every stage, from mixing the paste to the blue reveal. Having the PDF beside my fabric was helpful, and I’m looking forward to experimenting with my own designs.

I was familiar with the look of paste-resist fabric, but the method was a mystery to me. Following the stages of preparing, applying, drying and dyeing made it feel approachable. I now feel ready to experiment with designs of my own.

As a newcomer to indigo, I found the lessons surprisingly approachable. I could follow the preparation and dyeing stages, explore patterns, and return to a video whenever I needed another look. Unfolding my completed fabric was especially rewarding.
