Join us for Indigo Club this October! A series of evening explorations of natural indigo dye and resist techniques, all the textiles we make will go towards our third and final Living Dress installation.

We’re so excited to announce we’ll be making our final Living Dress of 2024, focusing on Indigo, to be premiered in Stockport’s Spectacular Sunday on 17th November.

We’ll be exploring different Indigo resists from around the world such as Shibori, Nori, Batik, and using some of our very own indigo grown in Greater Manchester.

Dates:

Wednesday 16th October
Wednesday 23rd October
Wednesday 30th October
Wednesday 13th November

Times: 7pm – 9pm

Where: The Vale, Vale Mill, Micklehurst Road, Mossley, Greater Manchester, OL5 9JL.

All these sessions are free to attend, and everything we make will go towards our Living Dress. No experience required.

[Sign up in the link in our bio] 💙

There will be other opportunities to volunteer too in the run up to the event if you can’t make these evening dates.

The Living Dress is a beautiful large-scale installation made of naturally dyed textiles using plants and flowers presented on a stunning 5m tall sculpture. The installation invites visitors to consider the rich connections between our natural environment and the garments we wear, imagining new forms of sustainable fashion.

The first blue of this year! It’s been an exciting year of R&D into producing natural dyes and pigments from plants locally to us here in Greater Manchester as part of The Living Dress project. There’s so much to learn still, we wanted to bring you along for this part of our indigo growing journey. What an amazing plant. Here Dan talks you through some of the process of extracting pigment from the plants 🌱

A huge shoutout to our small community of indigo growers in Tameside. Stay tuned for more! 💙

A few snaps from The Living Dress at Museum Day in August at Portland Basin Museum in Ashton. We added more summery tones to our Spring Dress using chamomile, madder, and over dying with indigo.

All the fabrics have been naturally dyed, and printed here in Greater Manchester, with many of the flowers grown right here in Mossley. It was also fun to be joined by The Milltown Cloggies too!

Join us tomorrow Thursday 22nd August at Portland Basin Museum 11am - 3pm in Ashton-under-Lyne. Our 5m tall sculpture and dress will be on display as part of Museum Day at Portland Basin Museum.

We’ve transformed our spring dress into a summer one with help from the wonderful women Tameside, here’s some behind the scenes action.

We’ve run volunteer sessions at the museum in Ashton as well as here at The Vale in Mossley. We’ve been flower bashing to make prints (Hapazome), leaf rubbing through stencils, patchwork and embroidery, as well as dyeing with weld, indigo, madder, and chamomile to get our Living Dress summer ready.

All of plants and flowers for printing have been grown locally 🌱

A few snaps from The Living Dress at Museum Day in August at Portland Basin Museum in Ashton. We added more summery tones to our Spring Dress using chamomile, madder, and over dying with indigo. All the fabrics have been naturally dyed, and printed here in Greater Manchester, with many of the flowers grown right here in Mossley. It was also fun to be joined by The Milltown Cloggies too! 📸 Dominic Simpson #TheLivingDress #Cabasa #PortlandBasinMuseum #naturaldyes #indigo #madder @intameside @aceagrams @weareinnovateuk @tnlcommunityfund @greatermcr

Join us tomorrow Thursday 22nd August at Portland Basin Museum 11am - 3pm in Ashton-under-Lyne. Our 5m tall sculpture and dress will be on display as part of Museum Day at Portland Basin Museum.

We’ve transformed our spring dress into a summer one with help from the wonderful women Tameside, here’s some behind the scenes action.

We’ve run volunteer sessions at the museum in Ashton as well as here at The Vale in Mossley. We’ve been flower bashing to make prints (Hapazome), leaf rubbing through stencils, patchwork and embroidery, as well as dyeing with weld, indigo, madder, and chamomile to get our Living Dress summer ready.

All of plants and flowers for printing have been grown locally 🌱
