Inspired By… Natural Dyes
Natural dyes from kola nuts and indigo have been used to make tie-dye in Gambia for generations. But more and more artisans have been replacing these traditional ingredients with imported chemical dyes. Today, Musa Jaiteh is the last artisan in his town in Gambia still using only natural dyes and traditional techniques.

Donate Old Teddy Bears
Do you a have much loved stuffed bear that you are willing to part with?
I am looking for used Teddy Bears of all sizes and condition. I need lots of bears for an upcoming installation.
I will be mummifying each bear with yarn and upcycled textiles preserving the integrity of its inner child.
I can accept drop offs with the doorman for Sky Garden Gallery at 150 Bay Street, Jersey City. Or I can arrange to pick up any donations on Fridays, evenings and on the weekend.
Please comment or DM me to let me know if you have any bears for me. Thank you!
