We ended our India design journey with a visit to Nila House in Jaipur for a wood block print workshop. This experience dovetailed nicely with my experience with indigo aizome dying in Shikoku, Japan, in 2024 which included shibori, and katazome resists. The artisan instructor showed us the Indian method of resist application with dabu, using the wood blocks, and after drying, helped us dip our pieces in the vats of live indigo dye stored in the ground to keep a consistent temperature. Nila House offers other handmade workshops, celebrating Indian craft and design - the appliqué session in the courtyard looked fun, that will be on my list for next time!

My creative sabbatical in Graz, Austria, is complete! In addition to exploring the area and immersing myself in public transportation and easy hiking access, I also joined the International Women's Association of Graz (IWA Graz), an organization for English-speaking women fostering friendship, support, and cross-cultural respect.
I was invited to join Monika K for an interview for the IWA Podcast and had the opportunity to talk about the sabbatical, my work, and some of my impressions of Graz.
You can listen to the podcast here!
