TEXTILES – SUMMER SESSION 6

Lucille Junkere
Soulful Indigo Dyeing

In this workshop, inspired by sustainability and the instructor’s de-colonial, anti-racist practice, you will learn to use and maintain nontoxic, natural indigo dyes suitable for plant and protein fabrics. We will experiment with traceably-sourced, hand-woven fabrics and textile waste; indigo-resist dyeing; and hand-cut stencils of students’ own design, creating patterned swatches and transforming them into beautiful, hand-stitched and embroidered cushion covers. All levels. This workshop takes place in a third-floor walk-up studio that has partial access by a stair lift.

Research-based studio artist/educator; teaching includes: William Morris Gallery (UK), Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft (UK), Oriel Myrddin Gallery (UK); residencies/fellowships include: Churchill Fellowship (Nigeria) Leverhulme Fellowship (Jamaica), recent exhibition: “Ancestral Libations: Allegories of Honouring and Remembrance” at 105a Studios (UK)
