We visited Johan’s Gothenburg-based studio to see him at work and hear more about how his obsession with indigo came about. He was not shy to give insights about his dye techniques, show us some of his traditional Japanese shibori and sashiko reparations, and give some insight behind Dye for Indigo philophosy.
