This is Jared, Adrienne and Maya at an Art exhibit where we learned hoe to tie dye
shirts and handkerchiefs. This also took place on Jared's birthday.
The workshop was held at the Nike Art Gallery. Nike is Nigeria's most famous artist and specializes in dyeing silk with indigo made in her village. We met her and she knows (and admires) Senator Bert Bryant!

The co-presenter is Betti-O, a Scott married to a Nigerian that also works with dye. She's in the picture above, with white hair. Her designs eventually became a successful store chain called "Ruff and Tumble", which is owned and operated by her daughter. The business story has been featured on YouTube:
