Sunday, November 8, 2026 | 9:00 AM–3:00 PM | $80 (supplies included)

Explore the art of natural dyeing in a creative, hands-on workshop at Joseph Rock Arboretum with artists Waiʻala Ahn and Justin Cook Tripp.

Discover the beauty of indigo, one of nature’s oldest dyes, and learn how to create stunning patterns using traditional and contemporary shibori techniques. Through banding, folding, and fabric manipulation, you’ll explore the fascinating process of transforming plant pigment into unique works of art.

Since 2015, Waiʻala and Justin have explored the intersection of creative expression and environmental stewardship through their work with indigo. Join them for an inspiring day of experimentation, creativity, and connection with the natural world in the beautiful setting of the Arboretum.
