Learn my preferred method of making an Food Waste or Whole Fruit Indigo Vat!

Making the Food Waste -or- Whole Fruit Vat is a delightful experience- with the added benefit of a comforting smell of cooking fruit (hello marmalade making aroma!) and the ability to make use of something that may ordinarily be composted or wasted.

Other Food Waste that can work:

• Bananas & Banana skins

• Dates

• Zucchini

• Apples

• Pumpkins (and decorations leftover from Halloween & autumn festivities)

• Pears & More included in the Tutorial

The food waste vat is gentle and effective enough to color ALL natural fibers (cellulose/plant, protein/animal) and you will find that external heat will help in maintaining this vat. ***For a vat type whose maintenance can be simpler & requires less external heat for repeated dyeing over time- see my Tutorial on Making an Iron Vat Here. An iron vat is a wonderful time vat -requiring less external heat, and for those dyeing plant fibers primarily like cotton - this vat is ideal. This vat also quickly produces deep saturated blue hues.

And if you would like to learn even more about all types of quick reduction organic Vats as well as the Dry Leaf Indigo Vat- See my Indigo Vat Workshop with over 3 hours of video instruction and detailed step by step handouts with recipes and instructions.
