Yellow Dyes of Mexico with Janette Terrazas Islas
We are excited to host Janette Terrazas Islas at Blue Light Junction from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Janette's work is a testament to the beauty and connected nature of lineage, story and what we make of the world around us.
In this workshop Janette will share her practice and knowledge around indigenous dyes of Mexico including gobernadora, cempasuchil, pericon, and copalquin among others. Participants will work with silk and wool to create samples of each plant and become more immersed in the legacy of Mexico's dye craft.
