It’s time to make an indigo vat and do some dyeing. Since my dye studio isn’t equipped with plumbing I try to do indigo outdoors. Lots of water used for rinsing and I hate to see it wasted. Here are some ideas for outdoor wet studio areas. I love that a hose on the drain can be directed to the landscape areas.
The table would be perfect for my indigo vat. I can cut a round hole for a utility bucket that I make my vat in. A second inset for the water To develop color would make this perfect. No bending over and when the vat is exhausted it all folds away for storage.
Oh yeah! My back is breaking from bending over to rinse everything! Indigo is on my to-do list, but other dyeing is going on.
I’m intrigued by the “cart” in the first photo. Is that something you purchased or assembled?
This is assembled from a plastic shelf from a big box store. It can be disassembled for winter storage if you like. I found photos on camping sites. Mine doesn’t have the pvc pipe above where you see the towel roll. If you can use a small skill saw to cut the holes for the tubs, you can make this.
