Explore spirituality, creativity and colour

Explore spontaneity, creativity and our innate connection to the divine with an indigo and thread workshop

Explore spontaneity, creativity and our innate connection to the divine with an indigo and thread workshop to be held from 9:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. June 30 to July 4.

The workshop will be led by fibre artist Thomas Roach, co-ordinator of a community art project to make and install 25 indigo quilts in the parish hall of Vancouver’s Christ Church Cathedral.

Get your hands deep into a vat of dye and discover the mystery of indigo blue. Experience wonder as the colour appears before your eyes.

Participants will explore simple tie-dye techniques to create a range of patterning, shading and visual texture that will form the basis of a personal prayer cloth that can be further enriched by stitching.

Let your hands and mind work together intuitively – every stitch becoming a prayer.

No previous experience is necessary.
