SUMMARY:Stories in Blue: A Community Indigo Project
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chatham Arts Council for Stories in Blue: A Community Indigo Project on Sun\, May 3\, 10am-3pm at the Chatham County Arts Center. Stories in Blue: A Community Indigo Project with Deena Class brings community members together through the shared wonder of indigo—how this one plant pigment has been worked with by cultures all over the world for thousands of years. \nThe project will culminate in free public workshops\, and participants will pre-register so that Deena can ensure adequate space\, supplies\, and materials. These workshops will take place in April 2026 and lead to the unveiling of the community indigo quilt in May 2026. During the workshops\, each participant will dye two fabric squares—one to take home and one to contribute to the community quilt—and each person will also receive an indigo seedling (Persicaria tinctoria) to nurture at home. In addition\, community members can attend free drop-in quilt-making sessions at the Chatham Parks and Rec Arts Center in downtown Pittsboro on May 3\, where they will piece and quilt the indigo creation together (no sewing experience necessary). Through the quilt\, the seedlings\, and the stories participants share\, the project will carry forward the idea that indigo belongs to everyone. It will honor indigo not only as a color or craft\, but also as a living thread that runs through generations and across cultures\, continents\, and communities. \nThis free community event takes place indoors. Free parking is available on-site. See more Chatham Arts Council events.

Then\, there will be a short presentation of the public artwork also made for this project (based on community-generated\, greenway-related bird data!)\, followed by a Q&A with the artist. \nThis free community event takes place outdoors. Participants will meet at the S. Small Street entrance to the greenway. Please be mindful of neighbors’ lawns and driveways when parking. Bring your smartphone and headphones/earbuds! You will access the audio project on your phone and listen to it through your headphones while walking the greenway together. Make sure to bring a water bottle and shoes you can walk in!
