#Repost from @true_colors_the_book with @regram.app ... @avivaleightextiles @coloursofnrfk dye yarn with @woad, the ancient European source of blue. It’s still indigo, just from the plant #isatistinctoria. Evidence of its presence in human lives goes back to the #stoneage. #indigofera and #syntheticdyes all but erased woad. Artist, dyer, weaver and teacher Aviva Leigh continues to reexplore woad’s beautiful blues in Norfolk, UK.
Our last day on the @moroccantextilesretreat in #marrakech. We visited #Bahiapalace #museedeboucheroite #museedeparfum enjoying the energy of the pink city before we fly back to sunny England and all it has to offer.....

#berbercookeryclass with @berberlands_essaouira.. A visit to #Tidzi Market to buy fresh #localingredients for a #slowfood lunch. We baked bread in a clay oven and made a vege and #goat tagine, the speciality of the region. Then a lazy lunch under the trees in the courtyard. #slowlife #takeabreak #beldi #ilovemyjob #makingspace #colorsofthesunretreat Oct 2019
