This man is giving an indigo-dyeing demo. Next to him on the platform are the paraphernalia he uses and cloths he's dyed.
All parts of the indigo plant are put into clay pots like the one in front of him and the dye extracted. The dyeing process itself involves wringing the coth in a specific way, as he is in this photograph, to distribute the dye evenly. The more number of times you dye the cloth, the darker it becomes.
The dyed cloth is dried and burnished using smooth, round stones passed on through generations. Depending on where and how the indigo is grown, the dye can have a green or purple tinge.

Tie Dye. Brings to mind hippies and the 60′s doesn’t it. But I have recently seen the remake of this craft into gorgeous colors and bright fabrics. And it’s REALLY FUN to do with your kids. And even though you do have to wait overnight, the reveal of the prints you have created is the best part of this craft. Visit us at CreativeMeInspiredYou.com

This piece was disappointing as I discovered there was a tiny hole in the one of the blocks I clamped on the fabric. It meant that in 4 of the squares I got a little circle of dye.
Phaeolus schweinitzii. In both my books the description fits but the photos look slightly different. I think this is a fairly fresh specimen. Both seen on Ockham common but I did see some also on Oxshott heath too. In one book it is described as infrequent and in the other, common. SWT
That's the thing about living the Northwest: they have NO idea how to deep fry anything anymore! No, leave it to a hundred year old burger stand in the Deep South to give me the best damn fries I've had in a very, very long time. . . .
