Clay Resist Dye –
A traditional textile dyeing technique where patterns are created by applying a clay paste to fabric before it is dyed in a natural indigo vat. The areas covered with clay remain light and undyed, creating beautiful patterns and contrasts. Each piece is one of a kind, blending traditional methods with your own personal expression.

Indigo is a natural blue dye extracted from the leaves of the indigo plant. It has been used for centuries to color textiles and produces rich, vibrant shades of blue.
