WORKSHOP DE TINGIMENTO

Encerramos neste domingo o workshop de tingimento aqui em São Paulo. Apesar de dezembro ser sempre um mês corrido para todos, algumas pessoas conseguiram reservar quatro dias desta semana para aprender algo novo e se divertir um pouco neste universo fantástico de cores e formas. Parabéns mulheres, o workshop foi bárbaro!

 

BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH HEMISPHERE

Shibori hand dyed nylon top

The problem of living between the North and the South hemisphere - Canada and Brazil -  is that  when it is summer in one it is winter in the other and ideally I would have to produce for both seasons at the same time. For that reason I have been thinking of items that despite being for a specific season can also be seen as accessories. And accessories are always welcome!This image shows one of my pieces that was created following the production of the leg wears: it is a charming nylon top that is tight on the body and supposed to be used in cold days by itself or under dresses, short sleeve shirts, vests, or any clothing that would leave the arms out. Because they are tight on the body and do not alter its original shape, Brazilians call it "second skin".
