The diverse textile traditions found on the African Continent are presented in this workshop. Fiber artist Jamie Root uses slides, woven examples, and other visual aids to discuss how symbols facilitate communication. In the workshop students select Adinkra symbols (used extensively in fabrics among the Ashanti Kingdom from Ghana) to create stamps and print on a t-shirt to produce a graphic and unique piece of art.

Requirements: a sink; table with chairs for students. Teachers must be present at all times during workshops.

My web design experience goes back twenty years, first directing large corporate websites where I got to learn best-of-class digital design principles and usability. Today through Indigo Designworks, I bring that expertise to clients, ranging from branding and business presentation online for new businesses, to helping take business concepts to the next level for existing ones. I also bring a deep understanding of what tools and support clients will need to effectively manage their websites and social media campaigns after launch
