We are planning to hold our May meeting virtually. Ruth Wickremesooriya, our 2019 Bursary winner, explored indigo dyeing and weaving to produce some beautiful fabrics. Ruth will ‘broadcast” from her basement studio where you can see some of the cloth she designs and creates hanging on the wall behind her. Ruth’s 30-minute virtual presentation will start with a slide show of images and artists’ work that inspired her, using Screen Share, and share fascinating anecdotes about indigo blues and denim. Then she’ll talk about how those images and ideas led to the indigo-dyed fabric she has been weaving. Ruth’s weaving has subtle changes in shade and texture. Future more graphic woven projects are in the planning stages. We are planning to end with a question and answer session.
