Beaufort ~ Shibori Indigo Bandana Workshop


Event Details


Join RLB Distillery for a hands-on indigo dyeing workshop that honors the rich cultural heritage of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Participants will learn traditional techniques for dyeing cotton bandanas using natural indigo, a plant-based dye historically significant to the Gullah Geechee people and the Beaufort region. Guided by local artist Lydia Beason, you’ll explore the process of preparing and folding fabric, dipping it into the iconic deep-blue indigo vat, and unveiling your own unique creation.

This immersive experience offers not just a beautiful textile to take home, but also a deeper appreciation for the region’s agricultural and artistic legacy—where indigo once served as both an economic engine and a cultural expression. All materials are provided. No prior experience necessary.
