A private Shibori* and natural dye workshop with me in Chicago. Learn how to make several different patterns through hand stitching and folding cloth, and also learn the ancient tradition of natural dye. The final object is up to you--something gorgeous for your wall? a set of pillows to accent your sofa? We will work together to decide the right project for you before the workshop.
Project By
Connected as Jane Palmer (388 friends)
Let's see...
Became obsessed with textiles as a youngster
Received not only one, but yes, two degrees in textiles
Started Noon Solar with my friend, which is a business that integrates flexible solar panels into bags to charge up cell phones and iPods
Started naturally dying fabrics for Noon Solar because we couldn't find them anywhere else
Started Noon Design Studio with same friend, in order to naturally dye fabrics for other designers, artists and generally rad people who also love them
And am now taking on Noon Design Studio as a personal and solo project because I love it.
And that, my friends, is what is called full circle, or in my amazing world of eco-textiles, a closed-loop cycle.
Thanks for all the support, I am so grateful to be given a chance to do what I love to do!
