Behind the design: Aboubakar Fofana x Threads of Life Workshops

February 28, 2023/ Elami Productions

Threads of Life’s Natural Dye Studio hold regular classes and special workshops by visiting artists. Aboubakar Fofana is an indigo dyer, artist, textile designer, calligrapher and teacher. He is best known for his sublime indigo and mineral mud-dyed textiles. Aboubakar is back for his third time in the Threads of Life Studio and is leading three workshops.

We created the artwork for the 3 classes based on the beautiful colors of the natural dyes, especially the incredible blues of the natural indigo.
