About this Event

About Cathy Karp:

"I’m a former Montessori art teacher who can’t stop teaching. I work with a variety of ages groups in many different types of settings teaching sewing, mending, dyeing, printing, among other things. I focus on creating indigo-dyed, upcycled clothing. My interest in upcycling began with mending, which led me to explore ways to give used garments new life.

At the same time, indigo dyeing entered my life in a different but equally serendipitous way. As blue is my favorite color, I took a workshop out of curiosity, and I was immediately hooked. The rich color, the use of upcycled textiles, and the unique designs and patterns I could create captivated me. Since then, I’ve continued to explore this process, always using high-quality, natural fiber materials to craft beautiful, comfortable, and unique products. I fell in love with indigo dyeing and realized I could merge my passion for sustainability with this traditional craft.

Each piece has a unique history and character. I use various Shibori techniques to bind and create resists, allowing the dye to interact with the fabric in unpredictable ways. After emerging from the dye vat, each garment reveals a one-of-a-kind pattern. These techniques include folding, tying, wrapping, clipping, and other methods of binding fabric to create intricate designs that are unveiled when the piece is rinsed and dried."
