Sunday, December 18 from 9 a.m. – Noon Adults and ages 10+ (with parent) welcome! Would you like to wrap a gift in naturally dyed fabric? Furoshiki has been used for centuries to wrap gifts. In this workshop we will infuse fabric with natural pigment using the bundle dye method. Each participant will create both a large and medium size furoshiki. While our furoshiki bundles steam, we will paint with the dyes and observe how natural modifiers can create a rainbow of colors on paper, paper that can later be used to make cards. This is an excellent workshop to do with a child, although anyone is welcome! Instructor Hayley Haspel-Winick will lead this exploration of bundle dyeing — using flowers and plant-based food scraps to infuse natural pigment into fiber. If you’d like to work on one single project with your child, just purchase one ticket. • Scholarships available • Homeschoolers welcome • Military and sibling discount SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

After the Hollywood stars began buying his jewelry, he quickly became an established and recognized artist in the industry. With a deep love and respect for his indigenous roots, Federico began collecting jewelry and textiles that reflected his culture at a young age. After meeting his wife and following her from Tututepec, Oaxaca to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, he carried on his passion of jewelry by opening a series of shops to the public. During the trunk show event at Bazaar del Mundo, Federico's stunning jewelry will be available for purchase alongside collections from other indigenous and southwestern artists. The event is free and open to the public. To join the festivities, visit the Bazaar del Mundo Shops at the north entrance to Old Town on the corner of Juan and Taylor Streets.
