Johns Island, SC Gullah Geechee Indigo Dyeing - On-Demad Learning
On-Demand Workshops: Ancestral Indigo as Medicine Patterns from Johns Island
Join me for a robust series of seven (7) on-demand 3-hour Zoom workshops exploring traditional and contemporary Geechee Gullah and Contentnea Creek Homeland resist design patterns, passed down through generations of my family. These sacred, culturally rich motifs reflect stories, memory, movement, and spiritual connection to land and ancestors.
Each workshop focuses on one distinct resist pattern, with space for hands-on practice, Q&A, and storytelling rooted in Indigenous and Gullah Geechee textile traditions.
