Several woadwaxens were displayed next to the indigo vats during the exhibition.

The museum displayed a rare woadwax from the medieval period, its faded blue offering a glimpse of ancient dyeing techniques.

At dawn, the woadsters walked to the river to collect leaves for the traditional blue dye.

At dawn the woader filled the vats and began the slow alchemy of turning leaves into indigo.

The artist chose a woady pigment for the mural to evoke ancient textiles.

The village relied on the skill of the woadster to give their linen a deep, lasting blue.
