ABSTRACT ON FABRIC

“Indigo Abstract,” indigo dye on fabric, by Mary Gow.
With my love of abstract art that translates so well if applied to fabrics – finally in early 2024 I took a class I’ve been longing to take for a long while.

I discovered Joy Lily’s “Dyeing For Crafters with Shibori” class available through South San Francisco’s Parks and Recreation Department.

It’s a four hour class that runs about 9 weeks per term, offered 3 or 4 times a year. In a cool way, that means it’s possible to make this course almost a weekly routine – with some healthy breaks in between!

See the image above for a sample of an indigo piece I created.

If you’re interested in taking Joy Lily’s dyeing class in South San Francisco, go to

and in the filters box, put “Dyeing” and you’ll find out if/when the class is offered and whether registration is open.

Exploring abstract painting on fabric is an adventure! I look forward to doing more!
