If Spring energy were a portrait.

Friends! Strangers! Lovers! All! Join us for another Indigo Community Dye Day in Big Sur. Hosted on the Summer Solstice, this is an immersive afternoon of indigo dyeing, community engagement, and textile renewal. Rooted in sustainability and slow craft, this gathering invites you to bring well-loved garments back to life through the transformative process of natural indigo dyeing. Faded whites, stained linens, sun-worn cottons, and forgotten pieces are all welcome, honoring the beauty of reimagining what already exists. Together, we’ll explore the art of indigo dyeing in community: layering color, texture, and process into garments that carry history, memory, and everyday use. Every piece emerges entirely one of a kind! No experience necessary, simply bring natural fiber clothing or textiles you’d like to renew and a few items below. When: June 21 2026 1:00 to 4:00 PM Henry Miller Memorial Library 📍 48603 CA-1, Big Sur, CA 93920 Do I have to RSVP? Yes. Sign up and donation link in bio!

A look back at a beautiful weekend at the Boonville Hotel, where I had the pleasure of teaching an indigo dye class as part of their Japanese Arts & Crafts weekend. @boonvillehotel It was a gift to spend time with such a thoughtful and fun group of students, sharing the process of working with a natural indigo vat. A true highlight of our class was watching each piece emerge from the vat and slowly transform, each one entirely its own work of art. I’m grateful to have shared the weekend alongside Suminagashi Artist Solange Roberdeau @solange_roberdeau and Sashiko artist Lindsey Hansen of @_the_future_past_ who were teaching their own specialty crafts, creating such a meaningful exchange rooted in material, care, and process. Thank you to @melindawellis for all that you do, and to @cozitea for your time and support assisting. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Boonville Hotel for hosting the first edition of what felt like a very special gathering!

Natural dyed silk pillowcases will be back soon, just in time to make these lingering winter days feel a little softer. May the rainy days ahead give way to deep rest, and find you in extra cozy places like this one..! Silk pillowcases on @freepeople ✨ Book a cabin @philoapplefarm ☕️📖🛏️

Shibori days. I can’t speak highly enough of what a natural dye practice is. It is a way to leave the impression of nature and time in cloth, a way to hold the sweetness of these sunsets, textures and feelings from our nature world - the places and moments that leave you speechless and in awe - closer to you. Releasing new lovely natural dyed artworks on @freepeople this spring ✨ letting nature be my muse.

Just pouring moonlight onto my heart, and i hope it reaches yours too. This is the only show in town worth seeing every night - complete with a live score from chorus frogs and crickets, are you listening….? ✨

Heaven on earth found in flowers, water, play, people and poets. Making a return to Big Sur this summer for more indigo dye workshops… stay tuned for dates! Thank you to all the parts and people in this community that make my time here possible @henrymillerlib @esalen @a_n_e_m_o_n_e_ceramics 💙🌺✨

New blue on the horizon! My textiles are shaped by time, water, and nature’s palette. A touch of nature, in your everyday.

Night walks, evening alchemy. #indigo #naturaldyes #textiles #textileart #freepeople
