Fiber Arts Residency Presentation

Please join us for a dynamic presentation and conversation from Davana Robedee, the Catskill Art Space and Gael Roots Community Farm jointly hosted Fiber Arts Resident. The presentation marks the culmination of the residency, using the time and space to explore cultivated and wild dye plants, the fiber flax to linen process, and wool from the Icelandic and Shetland sheep raised on the Livingston Manor-based farm. Robedee's own practice primarily uses cultivated indigo, and the residency will allow her to experiment with other natural dye plants and materials, such as marigolds, goldenrod, and Dyer's coreopsis, adding September flora to her dye palette. She will be joined in conversation with Iris Fen Gillingham, founder and director of Gael Roots Community Farm, for a wide-sweeping discussion on the residency and interactive presentation with resources from the farm.
