How are the clothes we wear, blankets we wrap ourselves in, and textiles all around us informed by our relationship to water? Consider these questions and your own relationship to the land as you learn the basics of natural dyeing and fiber art skills with a stellar group of instructors for a very special Weaving Water Workshop. Karen Goulet (White Earth Nation), Dr. Tammy Greer (Houma), and Weaving Water Workshop founder Sarah Nassif (European descent) work to reconnect themselves and others with both plants and water as artists, community organizers and educators. Hear how their cultural backgrounds play a role in their fiber art and plant passions, and how deep relationships to plants can connect us to each other and help us care for the environment together.
In this workshop you will learn about local and invasive plant dye sources and their ecology and significance, work with an organic indigo vat to dye fabric shades of blue, and try your hand at different manual methods of spinning, weaving and dyeing. We will focus on process more than product, and we will create both individual and collaborative work that brings our learning to life.
