Weaving Friendship

When I was thinking of what my blog posts will be focusing on this season, I wanted to share something about two Greek friends of mine, Apostolia and Korina, for a number of reasons which I will share in other posts. But this one is dedicated to them as I look at their courage, faith and perseverance as they step into a new season of their lives. They are my friends that I have known now for a few years.

At Imbali, we believe creativity connects us to tradition, community, and the natural world around us.

This week, we are excited to welcome the women of Creative Hands and a group of Roma women from the Petalouda Education Program to a special Natural Dyeing Workshop led by visual artist and natural dyer George Petsikopoulos.

Together, we will explore how roots, leaves, bark, peels, and minerals can be transformed into beautiful, natural colours for textiles. This workshop marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as Imbali explores the world of naturally dyed and handwoven textiles.

💛 We are also seeking support to sponsor six women from Creative Hands so they can participate in this valuable learning opportunity. Your encouragement, prayers, and financial support can help empower women through creativity and skill-building.
