The Indigo Plot is a natural dye garden curated by textile artist Elisabeth VIguie Culshaw in the grounds of the Glasgow Botanical garden.
There she plants every year since the beginning of the Covid crisis annual Japanese Indigo and Woad plants for colour.
In the two hours we will visit the garden and hear all about te plants and how to grow them, then we will have the chance to dye a small piece of silk with fresh leaves extracted pigment to take home.
This event is used to fund the project "The Indigo Plot" from seeds to tools this project does to apply for funding.
