    Fun class, but I think it could be 30 minutes longer to give more space for creativity.

    This was a really fun class! Just enough time to make your stamp and a finished piece, and the instructor was very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend it!

    Absolutely loved this class. It was so informative- we learned about the science and the history behind indigo dying. It was also so fun and we were all so happy with the pieces we left with.

    Great. Balanced with knowledge and instruction of the craft with time to actually create getting your hands dirty and make something. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is the tools provided for the shibori techniques were limited. By the time we were working on our last pieces and wanted to try something different the needed supplies were out.
