INDIGO WORKSHOP 2012

Click on indigo workshop to see notes.This workshop was literally a great leap forward in dyeing with the indigo plant. I was keen to learn from Michel Garcia and put into practice the ideas we learnt from Yoshiko Wada in 2010 in Nelson.
Jane Suffield and her indigo works

Although the indigo process and materials are very important it’s also the cultural history and contemporary links that fascinate the dyer. The modern textile artist has a lot to gain by this practice. The magic of the indigo transformation process continues to lure the colourist into a world of impressions on cloth.

It was a gift of orchids from Pat that got me thinking about some combinations of colour….Shot a few images of the finished suit due on Tuesday morning for Suzanne- dyed from a mixture of Raumati marigolds saved from January and French weld bottled over winter. I bought the weld powdered dye from Couleur des plantes in Lyons during the shibori symposium to test on my return.

I used Levana fine merino knit base for the skirt layer, Sentosa stretch tissue silk for the tabard dress and hand felted top is made up of a fitted nylon bodice that I reworked. I needed something strong in colour contrast and crisp for Suzanne to wear to the Electra awards…think it works! Just needs shoes and accessories.ImageImageImage
