Topical Seminar: On Indigo - Lecture: Indigo – Mummy Cloths to Blue Jeans - Dr Jenny Balfour-Paul

Indigo, known as the “King of Dyes,” has been in continuous use and traded worldwide as blue dye, paint pigment, and medicine for over six millennia. Its unique chemistry is suited for all types of textiles, whether prestige silks or blue jeans, as well as paint for frescoes and manuscripts. In this richly-illustrated talk, Dr Jenny Balfour-Paul—artist, traveller, and author of three books on indigo—will speak about this fascinating colour, as well as indigo’s increasing popularity as a sustainable dye.
