We are all socialized to worry a lot about making mistakes. A lot of this perception we pick up in school where there is such an emphasis on doing things a certain way to get a certain outcome.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we work to create an environment where you can free yourself of this thinking...Just because a piece doesn't turn out exactly as you envisioned, doesn't mean it's wrong or bad...only that it doesn't appear as it was first envisioned. That's serendipity, and we should learn to embrace it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These images show "mistakes" made in indigo dyeing. Aren't they beautiful?! If you come to one of our classes, these beautiful napkins will adorn our table proudly. Wanna free yourself from the need for perfection, join us! Our Thunderpants dyeing class is coming right up! Have lunch, shop a bit and decorate your underpants! Sunday, September 15, 2019.

People who like to make things are naturally interested in the tactile nature of the tools it takes to do the work. There are so many textures and temperatures to the tools we use . All this just pops into life when we're setting up for our event, and is magically packed away at the end. In the meantime, our guests get to experience them! @ Cross Plains, Wisconsin

It's recovery day for us but we just wanted to share a picture. Everyone made such beautiful work and we can't wait to share it all. 💙💙

For every Deep Into Indigo Retreat we work to create a positive and fun community of sharing and inspiration. We have had fun design trends every year. This picture really captures all of our biggest trends this year: sekka itajime, slinky arashi and carved blocks itajime. Everyone stretched themselves and tried new patterns and supported each other, it was such a blast. Today I'll empty the van. I somehow managed to get 3 full vats home. I don't know how I'll get them out of there. 💙💙

I love dyeing paper with indigo! These little jotters were made with watercolor paper and sewn on my machine. Each guest received this in their indigo retreat kit. Maybe we need to put up a tutorial about how to do this?
