“Feeling blue” is an exhibition about Natural dyes and Sustainable fibres curated by textile artist and natural dyer Elisabeth Viguie Culshaw in the Glasgow Botanical garden’s Kibble Palace.
It features dyed and printed pieces using natural dyes grown on The Indigo Plot, a Natural dye garden in the Botanical garden and selected dyed pieces by artists and dyers from Scotland.
A call out for dyed and printed pieces has been made via Creative Scotland website for work to be submitted. To compliment the blue pieces provided by Elisabeth and the volunteers of The Indigo Plot, pieces provided by artists and dyers from Scotland will create a beautiful and sustainable rainbow.
Feeling blue will be a week-end of connection, of colour and sustainable textile.
During the week end there will be demonstration of natural dyeing, flax processing and wool spinning together with visits to the dye garden.
It runs on the 16th and 17th Septembre from 11 am to 4pm and is Free of charge.
