Chidesignindigo

Chidesignindigo Indigo and shibori artistic designer CHI design Studio and Workshop is an indigo arts studio founded by Caroline Harper, textile designer and natural dyer.

Launched in the fall of 2014, the studio represents Caroline's passion for creating useable, wearable art. Caroline's work honors ancient natural dyeing traditions and celebrates the revival of indigo production in South Carolina. Caroline works with cloth woven from natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk) and natural indigo dye to create authentic, hand-dyed clothing, pillows, and table linens. A Fr

ench native, Caroline's expressive use of color and pattern follows the Japanese shibori tradition in which she was trained. Each piece she creates has it's own soul as the fabric absorbs the dye according to a set pattern that only the artist creates. Caroline shares her passion for indigo and shibori by hosting workshops for various levels of interest and skill. Her intention is to inspire you to bring the beauty of natural artisan goods into your hands, and into your life.

New candles are available on www.chidesignindigo.com and they smell so nice! I am using 100% pure soy wax, natural fragrance oils and organic pigments. The indigo πŸ’™ and spirulina πŸ’špigments are slowly infused in the liquified wax for a long time in a traditional method. I love natural dyes because they create a soft pastel range of colors. You can try the indigo and lavender, or spirulina and rosemary combo. 🌿πŸͺ΄πŸ«πŸͺ»

It’s been a minute! January is always a good month to slow down, plan, reflect and re-energize. I have been on a long beautiful holiday in my native Italy and now back home enjoying the low country winter. Here’s some pretty colors to brighten up this season: indigo rope baskets and coasters, and indigo madder and pomegranate neck scarves.
