Workshop #2: Indigo Dye with Britt Browne

the ever-so-lovely Britt and her new dog, Sampson

OK so I have to share with you just how AMAZING Britt Browne's indigo dye workshop was this past Thursday! Seriously: A SUCCESS WOOOO! It was the second workshop of the Midsummer Nights Crafts series and it was spectacular! We had over-spillage in attendance and magically we were able to accommodate everyone. After a quick lecture by Britt everyone was incredibly anxious to get their hands dirty and start dyeing! We had some incredibly good tunes playing thanks to the ample records to choose from, beers & prosecco & sparkling lemonade to sip on and a freshly baked summer cake to eat. What started off a bit modestly turned into people taking their pants & shoes off to throw into the indigo dye vat! It was addicting. It was also pure magic. Thanks to everyone who came and to the incredible Britt who showed everyone what a wonderful good time is all about! You're gonna want to check out more HERE!

You can purchase some of Britt's indigo starters here and extract your own indigo!

Time to Dye Some Indigo!

Indigo Dye workshop coming up tomorrow, July 19th! Britt Browne is going to be spinning some indigo summer magic. Not only will you learn about this precious dye, but you will get to dye your own cotton napkin set and learn the method of indigo dyeing so that you can continue dyeing at home. Britt will be selling some of her indigo starter plants too. See you there!

Our first workshop this Thursday (July 12th) from 7-9:30pm is going to borrow a bit from Isamu Noguchi and a bit from Mark Eden Schooley's Koushi lamps! They are going to hang nicely, emanating a soft glow and making our homes that much more beautiful. All materials will be provided, including light bulbs, so all you really have to do is RSVP and show up!

Light refreshments to be served, along with an olive oil + rosemary cake and other light snacks. Records will be playing all night too. The perfect way to spend a summer's eve. Please email me with any questions or leave a comment! See you Thursday!         xo, Lili

Midsummer Nights Crafts

Summertime is generally a time to slow down and reconnect with one's self, right? Take a break away from work/school/everyday routines and go on a vacation to relax and get refueled by the sun and sea. Or to fill your lungs with mountain air. To discover a new country, culture, food, drink(s), time zone, park, hike, beach, etc. A time to leave your cell phone and emails behind and break away, even if only for an extended moment, and really reconnect with nature, with life, with your heart and soul.

These summer workshops were curated with the idea of bringing artists together and starting conversations. Taking the time to learn or hone in on a craft while starting a dialogue and sharing ideas with one another. Let your hands do the work and the rest will follow. Refreshments to energize and summer inspired foods to nibble on will make these midsummer nights crafts events more than just a workshop: we plan on creating a mini midsummer eve's soirée for you! So come and get inspired!
