I will be teaching at Appalachian Center For Crafts this summer.

August 2- 7, 2026 Address: 1560 Craft Center Drive Smithville, Tennessee.

Explore the depth and beauty of Japanese textile traditions in this five-day immersive workshop blending indigo dyeing, shibori resist techniques, and katazome rice-paste stencil work. Designed for students who want to work deeply and intentionally, this retreat-style course offers a balance of structured instruction, cultural context, hands-on skill building, and generous studio time. By the end of the workshop, participants will take home a rich collection of samples, a finished stitched shibori or katazome project, and a deep understanding of how these techniques can be incorporated into their own textile practice.
