INTRO TO INDIGO with Amelia Poole on Sunday, June 8 from 10am-4pm.
Don’t miss this chance to have a full day of dyeing and experimenting with an expert indigo dyer and an indigo vat. Several materials for dyeing are included in the class fee but also bring some of your own items (fabric, tee-shirt or yarn) to dip in the vat. See how the color changes after it has emerged from the vat. Dip several times to see the color darken. It’s all indigo magic.
Intro to Indigo teacher Amelia Poole has been dyeing with indigo for over 15 years. She loves working with indigo dips and indigo shibori as she can make the same pattern over and over but each piece will be unique because of the variations each time a piece is dipped in the indigo vat. Then Amelia adds stitching and again more variations occur.
Amelia grew up in Massachusetts and has lived in Maine since 2005. She attended the Surrey Institute of Art and Design in Farnham, Surrey, UK and holds a MFA in Woven Textile Design and Construction. Her final project for this degree included a piece of woven indigo fabric. Today she lives on the Blue Hill Peninsular and works in her studio there with both indigo and Eco-Printing (a class at Halcyon Yarn later in July). She also has a very special 5 year-old assistant.
Amelia loves to teach. She loves to share her experience and knowledge but she finds she loves the exchange of ideas with others as she also always learns something.
There are a few places still available in this class. Take advantage of the opportunity!
Check out all the classes being offered this summer at Halcyon Yarn.
