Join Arianne King Comer at the dyeing vat as she relates the history of indigo and teaches different resist-dyeing methods, particularly traditional batik, adire (Yoruba), and shibori (Japanese) techniques of designing on cloth.

We began working with artist and indigo advocate King Comer in 2017. Her annual residency, IBILE! Ancestral Call in Cloth, went virtual during the pandemic, but in 2022 she returned and her outdoor, all-ages studio is, once again, under the big tent.

We will have some muslin yardage available, as well as muslin garments that will be available for purchase should you want to dye your own “healing coat.” You may bring your own garments or yardage (up to three per person).
Pre-registration is required. Dress for dyeing and consider bringing your own rubber gloves (dishwashing variety).

July New Moon Sound Bath & Labyrinth Walk

July 17, 2023 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Fee: $25/$20 members
Registration: Space is limited; advance registration required. Register by phone at 414-446-8794.

Join artist-in-residence Jenna Knapp and collaborator Sevan Arabajian for an evening of new moon ideation and imagination. The new moon marks the first lunar phase and can symbolize new beginnings in our life. You can use the energy of the new moon to set intentions, imagine the successful completion of your goals, or seed a new idea. Take some time out of your week to relax into a healing sound bath and identify your intention for this new beginning. Then, join Jenna in the labyrinth for a sunset candle walk.

Sound baths are an ancient form of healing and deep meditation; they include various ambient sounds playing in a space where you can hear and feel their vibrations. Your sound healer for the evening will be Milwaukee’s own Sevan Arabajian, initiated by Akhilanka of the Temple of Singing Bowls in Mysore, India, when he was traveling in the U.S.

The sound bath lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. We recommend arriving 15 minutes ahead of time to give yourself time to set up and prepare. Please bring something to rest on and to cover yourself with (if you think you’ll want that) for the duration, and dress appropriately for the weather. The labyrinth walk takes place on a hill so please consider comfortable footwear as well. A little insect repellent may be in order, too. Candles are provided and you are invited to bring your own.
