The Veil

What does it mean when we say “the veil is thin”?

Why do we imagine the physical and spiritual worlds as being separated by a veil, a piece of cloth between what we can see and what we cannot?

Can a textile become a portal to the spiritual?
Can we infuse the essence and vibration of plants into cloth?

We already surround ourselves with objects of protection. We carry crystals, mojo bags, momentos, talismans, and religious items as a way of protecting ourselves, our families, and our spaces.

But what if there was another way to wear your protection?

Around the Spring Equinox, I began thinking about this and felt called to work with roses. I wanted to explore what it might mean to capture their essence and vibration in cloth and wear it as another form of protection.

I went into the studio and made a silk bandana using roses of different colors. I wore it that weekend, and it felt as if a little magic had been performed. Everything seemed smoother, more synchronized, more uplifted. I felt great, and somehow, great things seemed to happen around me too.

It got me thinking about our clothes and the things we choose to place directly on our bodies. What if what we wear can hold intention? What if our clothing can become another vessel for protection, connection, and ritual?

That question became the foundation for the "Spiritual Veil".

Working with roses, marigolds, yarrow, mugwort, rosemary, and other botanicals, we create our own personal veil. A textile infused with the essence, symbolism, and spiritual resonance of the plants we work with.

Faviola Lopez-Romani will set up a drop in Maiz Morado (Purple Corn) watercoloring activities where the public can discover a range of color potential housed in tiny pH-sensitive corn kernels. Maiz Morado is the principal ingredient in the pre-columbian Andean, celebratory beverage Chicha Morada.

Elizabeth Meggs will make block prints! The advent of printing changed life as we know it on planet Earth. Come learn about, discover, and explore early printing techniques using block printing, humankind’s earliest printing technology that was developed in China over a thousand years ago. Participants can make their own fine art prints using water-soluble ink on paper, with printing blocks pre-carved by hand by Elizabeth Meggs. Guests will enjoy printing fun family-friendly images such as bodega cats, spring flowers, and more!

Karyn Lao explores the pompom as an object that represents community— many parts connected by a common thread. She sculpts pompoms into functional statement pieces. Visitors will be invited to create pompoms under Karyn’s guidance.

Nelise Bey will introduce visitors to Shibori, a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique used to create patterned textiles through folding, binding, and compressing fabric before dyeing. During this Community Day activation, participants will learn the basics of Shibori by creating their own naturally dyed bandana using simple folding and binding techniques. The experience encourages curiosity, experimentation, and hands-on engagement while offering visitors a tangible introduction to textile traditions and natural dye practices

Taught two back to back workshops that day, bundle dyeing and shibori also had a table filled with all my wares.

Much thanks to Rebecca for organizing this amazing event!

Can't wait for the next one.

What if protection could be something you wear?

This May I'm hosting an intimate workshop where you will craft your own spiritual veil. Pure silk infused with fresh botanicals to create a wearable shroud of high vibrational energy and protection.

We'll be working with roses in all their colors, marigold, hibiscus, mugwort, and whatever else the season brings. Each plant carries its own spiritual resonance, and when infused into the cloth, that energy becomes yours to carry.
