X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us for a collective practice to recon
 nect with nature through the living colour of Japanese indigo. Through a h
 ands-on and community-based workshop\, artist\, and craft researcher\, Hit
 oko Okada\, will share their cultural\, medicinal\, and ancestral knowledg
 e of Japanese indigo through storytelling. We will harvest indigo leaves f
 rom the Queen's Square Artist Garden and play with pattern making on silk 
 scarves using simple shibori resists. The fresh leaf dye will offer a brig
 ht\, living turquoise blue. The intention of this program is to reconnect 
 to plants and to consider ancient Japanese approaches to relating to plant
 s\, their colour and cloth. This workshop does not focus on technique. All
  materials provided. <br /><br /></p>\n<p><strong>About the Artist:</stron
