I see creativity as a space to be beautifully imperfect. Indigo is not about perfection. It’s a space to honor our relationship with plants and the fabric of life and how we’re connected. When I host workshops it’s all about connection. Me connecting with you. You connecting with yourself, because indigo is a mindfulness practice - you need to slow down and be mindful when you dip in; it’s a space to connect with a plant that shares the gift of color with us and it’s one of the most sacred colors on the planet; and it’s a space to connect with one another as we create.
I invite you to dip into the magical world of indigo and explore the beautiful range of shades this plant shares with us.

During this workshop we will touch on a handful of contemporary + traditional shibori techniques to create beautiful, evocative watercolor designs using snow. (Shibori is the ancient Japanese form of resist dyeing that creates beautiful designs and patterns.) You do not need any artistic background to participate and will leave with a statement scarf that is sure to be a conversation starter.

WORKSHOP PROJECTS

Dyeing an oversized 52" x 52" square bamboo scarf (This fabric can be styled as a scarf, sarong, turn it into curtain, a one-of-a-kind baby quilt, you get the idea).

You will have the opportunity to bring 4 additional projects from home. These can be pieces you want to over-dye - - - pillow cases, white tshirts, (if you have a stained white sundress, this is a stellar way to give it a second life). The pieces must be made from natural fibers, no synthetics e.g. cotton, linen, silk

Note: your registration includes one bamboo rayon scarf, 52” x52”, it is regarded as the most sustainable bamboo you can get in the USA, because the effluents are 100% recycled in the process and not released into the watershed.
