Ikat has been created all around the world, most notably
Guatemala, where its beautiful
bright ikat textiles are famous.
Before being woven, the yarn is tied in
specific spots to resist dye.
The resists can be random,
or most frequently, like Peruvian textiles,
tied in specific ways to create designs.
These designs can be anything from camels
to people to tanks like in modern Afghan rugs.
There is a huge tradition of ikat throughout the
world, and it had changed as the dyes have
gone from natural to chemical. But Namaspirit Artists
are working hard to keep alive the dying art forms
as well as natural dye use....
Please take an interest in these Namaspirit efforts;
spread the word about the art and our artists efforts to reach you!
From Hip Hop that speaks in terms of pottery,
to yoga that teaches in terms of Saki-Ori
Namaspirit shares techniques and art
that incorporates recycling as its main emphasis.
