Yarn Dyeing Coil Basket Weaving: 2-day Workshop

Dive in a little deeper with your practice or come try something new!

Najee H.F. + Kenya Miles will lead you in a 2-day workshop/journey to make your own indigo dyed yarn coil basket. Over the course of 2 (two) 4 (four) hour days participants will dye yarn provided by BLJ in two of our indigo vats to create contrasting light and darker shades of blue.  We will wash and dry skeins over night. The following day participants will learn to wind skeins into a ball and hand coil baskets to take home.  This is a unique experience to apply and/or to learn a variety of techniques.

About our sliding Scale:

5 spots

Consider paying this amount if you have limited expendable income, have little or no access to financial support from family, have significant debt, and little or no access to savings. This is a discounted rate.

$100 

5 spots

Consider paying this amount if doing so would be an investment, but not create hardship for your household. You might choose this rate if you are able to regularly meet your basic needs and have some expendable income, can travel every couple years without burden, and have some debt but are able to pay it regularly. This is the true cost of a session.

$125 

5 spots

Please consider paying this amount if you are comfortably able to meet your basic needs, own the home you live in, have paid or pay for private education, travel recreationally, have access to financial savings and/or investments, have reliable work or do not have to work to meet your needs, have inherited wealth, and/or have increased earning privilege due to your race, gender, or education. This rate sustains me in working with folx who need a lower rate.
