Diving Into the Blues
Stephanie Hilvitz
Sue Hagedorn
Blue evokes a calm sense of tranquility, inspiring the creative and
intuitive mind. It is the color of the throat chakra which governs
communication and expression.
Indigo dyeing requires exposure to air, cyanotype requires exposure to
light, both hold an elemental, deeply felt quality of healing and well
being embedded in the color blue.
Diving into the Blues
holds a space for healing and connection,
strengthening an artistic path both individually and communally;
seamlessly moving from one to the other. Our explorations in the alchemy of light and water,
embellished and strengthened though individual handwork
will tie us to what was, what is and what will come to be.
During this 4 day workshop Stephanie and Sue will share bundle dyeing
techniques with flowers, leaves and rust to create the base on which to
explore shibori resist with indigo and a unique cyanotype process.
An alchemy beyond botanicals- transferring to fabric and paper. One
that evokes magic and mystic sciences on which to create a soft, rich
substrate to stitch your own artful story cloth.

Sue and Stephanie met 15 years ago, after Sue moved from Anchorage, Alaska
to Longmont, Colorado, and joined a book club that Stephanie was a part of, both
worked in a community garden group and found common ground in the art of
community. They share a love of textiles, vintage linens, handwork of all
kinds, both as an expression of art and of healing.

Stephanie and Sue began combining their artistic passions of both traditional and
contemporary textile explorations-
and from these rich collaborations a series of workshops were born.
Their intention is to enliven new ways of combining natural dyes, eco printing and indigo
surface design on cloth and paper encouraging your personal style and ultimately
encouraging and forging your own artful story cloth.
Sue is a writer and poet, has explored many types of art with the last decade
focused on the alchemy and magic of indigo and shibori.
Stephanie's art practice began more than 45 years ago; over the years she has
made textile art, beadwork, mixed media work and in the past several years
returned full circle back to fiber.
