ARTESANÍAS ROSAS T’IKA: Reclaiming typical natural dyes of the Charca people
-
Sistema Titicaca is a project whose aim is to reduce pollution of groundwater during the dyeing process, in so doing reducing pulmonary diseases caused by toxic substances in women workers. One of the training courses organised in August by Sistema Titicaca will be on natural wool dyeing held by the Artesanías Rosas T’ika association of Torotoro. Because of this collaboration, aniline dyes will be substituted with natural dyes during the the project.
Rosas T’ika association began in 2003, its four founders being all women from Torotoro, a community in Chuquisaca, situated in one of the parks of greatest geological interest in Bolivia (Parque Nacional Torotoro).

Ceramic Patchwork: A Textile Process In A Ceramic Form
Zoë Hillyard is an artist that grew up in a family where make do and mend was the norm. In her interview with No Serial Number Magazine, she recalled the times when she used to visit jumble sales and car-boot sales and when even a visit to the ‘tip’ would yield treasures from discarded stuff. We interviewed Zoë to find out about her Ceramic Patchwork technique and ended up learning a lot about her journey through her textile design degree, her postgraduate work in development studies, and then her travels. Throughout this journey, she has been incredibly inspired by indigenous cultures and nomadic lifestyles, which led her to explore and pursue simple and functional art forms.

I am fortunate to own the round braided rug that she made about 57 years ago out of Pendleton wool scraps.
