Maana Homes' Indigo Dye workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the art of Kyo-Aizome, an ancient fermented indigo dyeing technique from Kyoto. Participants can hand-dye their own textiles using this natural process, creating blue masterpieces with symbolic significance and protective qualities. The workshop also delves into the cultural and historical importance of this craft, providing a deeper understanding of its legacy.

The environmentally conscious approach of fermented indigo dyeing makes it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes, avoiding harmful chemicals. The experience takes place at MAANA Atelier, a beautifully restored traditional machiya, where visitors can engage in a range of creative activities in a space designed to foster community interaction and exploration. Through this immersive workshop, participants not only craft a personal textile but also connect to an enduring tradition that balances art, history, and environmental mindfulness.
