Cottonwood Center for the Arts, 427 E Colorado Ave., Colorado Springs, 80903

Event Description

Join Naomi J. Falk for a free indigo dyeing workshop and participate in Sky Sail, a collaborative community sculpture.

Sky Sail will be a collaborative sculpture constructed with community indigo-dyed fabric pieces. The “sail”, nodding to Starr Kempf’s sky reaching wing forms, will be suspended between the ceiling and floor, creating a walkthrough space. People will also be invited to sit on floor cushions to view the work from below.

Bring your friends and family and celebrate the many voices of our communities by dyeing sculpture fabric with us. We invite you to dye a linen, bandana-sized fabric square for our project and bring your own small cotton or linen piece to dye in our indigo vats.

Dyeing takes 15 - 30+ minutes.

MATERIALS
Linen will be provided as material for our sculpture. Participants may bring a small cotton or linen item of their own to dye, too.
