Noce Fresca Residency
Sardinia, Italy
Month-long residency for international and multi-disciplinary artists to explore a self-directed project. During the program, I studied traditional, handwoven textiles, which I then incorporated into large-scale tapestries and displayed at a culminating open studio event.
I also experimented with botanical dye using locally forged natural materials, such as figs, olives, walnut, myrtle and more.

Couleur Garance
Lauris, France
One-week workshop at the renowned Couleur Garance studio where we learned the fundamentals and techniques of how to forge natural materials, prep textiles and create dye baths.
Why natural dye?
Because it’s fun, it’s better for the environment and our bodies, and it brings us closer to nature.
