In this lecture, Riku Matsuzaki will delve into the history of indigo dyeing, cultivation methods, the process of making sukumo (fermented indigo leaves), and dyeing techniques, incorporating scientific insights along the way. This talk will be a rare opportunity for those who wish to deepen their understanding of indigo—or even try cultivating it themselves.
Note: On September 28, at the Dumbo studio, there will be a combined program of both workshop and lecture. If you wish to take the workshop, move to the page from here.
This event is part of New York Textile Month 2025.
