The Charleston Museum presents an original exhibition, Indigo: Natural Blue Dye in the Lowcountry, April 27 - September 2, 2013 in its Historic Textiles Gallery.
This small, focused exhibit will explore a brief history of the cultivation and production of indigo, Eliza Lucas Pinckney's important role and its curious dyeing procedure, along with examples of indigo-dyed textiles.
Ranging from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, these include clothing and household goods which are examples of vatted indigo dyeing, "china blue" printing and blue "penciling," revealing indigo's vast complexities and allure.
The Charleston Museum will kick off the exhibit with an Indigo Dyeing Workshop on April 27.
