Shifted Warp Ikat Workshop, Mary Zicafoose
On September 12, 13, and 14, Mary Zicafoose will teach a three-day workshop at South Valley Unitarian
Universalist Society, 6876 S Highland Drive. Participants in this workshop will design, wrap, dye,
and weave a classic blue-and-white shifted-warp ikat scarf.
Ikat is a very refined and beautiful textile technique of resist-dyeing pattern into individual
threads before weaving. It is a multi-phased fiber process resulting in graphically elaborate and
vibrant woven cloth. Ikat wrapped yarns, when dipped in vats of dye, instantly become
timeless, immersed in an ancient part- nership between intention, design, and color.
