Are you new to Indigo or Woad vats and feeling a little nervous and intimidated? So are we!

 Join Ivy Stovall (Rewild Portland) for this online research and support group as we learn and share together.

Ivy is taking on making a sig vat( urine) and focusing on the simple 123 process (sugar method).

Once a month we will share our work to date, set intentions for the next month and do hand work while we exchange ideas, tricks, tips, successes and challenges. A slack channel as a communication tool will be an open space for ongoing group sharing  between meetings.

Participants will need their own fresh or dried indigo or woad, internet access and a device with a camera/screen to participate. As this is a two-organization, border-crossing offering, we ask American participants to take a space through Rewild Portland.

Guaranteed to be a fantastic time of engaging conversations and in-the-moment learning for all!


Host

Ivy Stovall (she/her) delights in the abundance, patterns, and chaos of the natural world and of humanity. So it makes sense that three years into a Biology degree, she flipped majors and earned a BA in Interdisciplinary Humanities at the University of West Florida. Her broad education prepared her perfectly for her work in outdoor education, which she began as a 4H camp naturalist, teaching outdoor skills and elementary and middle school science curriculum in the field. Since then she has taught high and low ropes challenge courses, ESL at all grade levels, and developed a North Portland homeschool co-op and independent art, adventure, and theater camps for kids in her community. These days she lives and works at The MudHut Kulturhaus, her St. Johns urban permaculture homestead, where she shares her enthusiasm for outdoor living and hosts camps, workshops, skillshares, music and theater, women’s groups, and community celebrations and ritual. She likes to always be harvesting and keeps her hands busy making herbal medicines, homebrews and fermentations, botanical inks, dyes and pigments, wild foods, basketry, and natural building. Always a student and always a teacher, Ivy enjoys contributing to and learning from the passionate people of the Rewild Portland community.

Many Rewild kids have learned fire and knife skills around The MudHut fire pit and know Ivy as the Echoes in Time kids’ camp coordinator. Ivy loves the creativity, curiosity, and wildness of young people and is dedicated to the work of building healthy intergenerational communities connected to and through the natural world.
