Indigo in Vietnam – Black H’mong techniques and Green H’mong techniques.
Same, same but different. Trying to make notes to understand it, but it is so easy to be distracted looking, not writing.
It is all based on homegrown ‘Japanese indigo and almost just thrown in the vat to do its thing.
It only looks thrown in when someone with a lifetime’s experience does it, though.
A good excuse to visit again.
Mrs Chi and Mrs Sau are very patient, thankfully.
Visiting in March, join us. More Indigo in Vietnam techniques to understand and a whole heap of other textile delights. Check our calendar for dates and details.
There are a heap of Vietnamese stories on our blog “Of Daydreams and Memories…”
At Creative Arts Safaris Tours we offer fully escorted, small group tours. CAS focuses on textiles, crafts, arts and culture and yummy local cuisine.
On tour we like to get our hands dirty taking workshops, exploring locations and culture. We like to include lots of local experiences. Textiles and crafts are our passion.
Our friendly groups are inclusive. They are companionable and well organized allowing a relaxed adventure, great for solo travellers.
They include pickup & drop to airport, accommodation, group travel, sightseeing, workshops, and most meals. Almost everything EXCEPT the shopping – that is your job. Help the local economy.
