Participants will be provided a scarf. The instructor will share, instruction, tools and indigo dye needed to complete the project. You can either do a Silk scarf or a Cotton Scarf. Class price varies. Sign up for the type of scarf you would like to dye. Indigo dyeing class cotton scarves for $75. The long cotton scarves are 14” x 72” with fringe. Or they could do a plain cotton square scarf (bandana) 21 x 21. So when you sign up for the workshop choose either the cotton scarf offering or the silk scarf offering. Lydia Beason’s captivating textile artwork is lovingly, individually designed and hand dyed with natural plant indigo. Her work is crafted using intricate shibori techniques with indigo harvested from her garden beds (as long as that supply lasts!). Her process is deeply rooted in the local historical and cultural significance of the indigo plant. Inspiration is drawn from the lush Low Country landscape, sea and sky. She utilizes a diverse range of mediums including silk, cotton, and linen dyeing, linocut, collage, and pigment painting to elevate the beauty and complexity of her indigo blue art. As a juried artist and award winner, Lydia’s art has been featured in galleries, podcasts, magazines, and television broadcasts. She shares her passion through workshops with community groups, schools, and USCB. She was recently honored to be named the Artist in Residence for the Beaufort County Libraries. Lydia’s small business, Island Indigo, donates proceeds to brain cancer research, a cause near and dear to her heart. The cognitive and physical therapy of her art have allowed her to find purpose through her battle with brain cancer. Cost of the workshop is $100 for members and $150 for non-members. Cut off day to register is June 3. We must have 5 participants to make a viable class. Scarf Size is 14x72 inches | Upcoming events
