Below are scheduled workshops and events. Please contact me if you would like to book an event or workshop for your group.
Indigo and Natural Dyeing Experience
Summer Fun in the Studio
This in-studio small group experience will combine experiments in natural dyeing in combination with indigo. Natural dye materials will include madder, cochineal, marigold, and Japanese mugwort. Various mordants will be used to shift colors and fix the color to the cloth as needed.
I have madder grown here as well as marigolds! We may supplement these materials as needed. Kakishibu will make an appearance! I wonder if there will be enough yarrow for a dyepot?

Practical Cloth Making
Using the sensibilities and practicality born of Japanese boro techniques and sashiko stitching, let’s make whole cloth from scraps! These whole cloths can be used for a wide variety of finished projects from pillows, wall pieces, clothing, bags and more. Hand sewing, machine sewing, appliqué and sashiko techniques will all be used.
