All About Wool

My All About Wool exploration started during a art residency at the University of British Columbia on the Okanagan. After many years of research, my goal is to bring back our traditional indigo blue dyed Algonquin Eastern Woodland wool blankets. This project has lived inside of me for decades, and was realized as I prepared to teach a hands-on workshop at Indigenous Fashion Arts in Toronto in 2024. I sourced wool yardage from Pro-Chemical and Dye and Dharma Trading. To create wool for applique and collage, I'm dyeing solid colors using marigold flowers, turmeric, indigo and madder powders, logwood chips, ground cochineal insects, and onion skins.
