This past weekend we had the pleasure of collaborating with EILEEN FISHER’S GREEN EILEEN team at a workshop in Seattle at the Hillman City Collaboratory.
The Collaboratory is a center for the arts and an incubator for social change with a mission to create a space of transformation including the built environment and the programming specifically designed to create community and equip change-makers. The Collaboratory is housed in a multi-use complex that incorporates four unique spaces: the mixing chamber, the coworking office, the learning kitchen, and the community park & garden.
Attendees learned the Japanese art of shibori and natural indigo dyeing techniques while experimenting, exploring and learning more about the nature of color (not to mention how old clothing and bedding can get a second life).
Thank goodness for our massive barrels!
Check out some of our pictures from the weekend and get some inspiration should your company want to also try out a little indigo retreat or if you just want to play around with some indigo on your own home turf.
