I seem to be good for about 5 hours before sensory overload kicks in and I CAN NOT ABSORB another bit of info. Like a sponge unable to take in one more drop. It’s a weird feeling. Sensory and mental too-muchness. The workshop–down in Asheville’s River Arts District–is being offered by Catherine Ellis. Weaver, shibori and natural dye expert and all ’round source of an amazing amount of information.
Last year I took her natural dyeing course but this year’s add-on–printing with natural dyes–takes the process to an entirely different level. Working with indigo, madder, cochineal, weld etc.
Checking reduction of indigo vat.
Learning amazing techniques for printing with color onto color. And thinking of ways to incorporate all of this into Eco printing.

Right now my mind is totally full of so many different possible applications of stuff I learned. Probably should spend the day simply breathing. But yes, I’m sure my work will be changing a bit. Love to you
