Today I am sharing another reward from my Shibori in Oaxaca 2027 fundraising campaign.
This is a chance to own some rare indigo and support indigenous artisans.
The Indigofera Suffruticosa is from Santiago Niltepec, Oaxaca, in Mexico’s Isthmus region. This is one of the last villages in Latin America producing natural Añil (indigo).
Here, indigo has been cultivated and processed in the same manner for centuries. The village’s name, “Niltepec”, translates to “Hill of Indigo”. There is a limited amount of indigo produced each year.
The indigo is formed into rock-hard balls. I am happy to grind it into a powder; just let me know!

Shibori in Oaxaca 2027
I have some wonderful news! In January 2027, I’ll be returning to Oaxaca, Mexico, to teach an Indigo/Shibori workshop at the Centro Cultural Comunitario de Teotitlán del Valle. I’ll be sharing these techniques with local Indigenous artisans, and this will be my fifth year teaching there.
I volunteer my time and provide all necessary materials for these workshops. To make the trip possible, I raise funds to cover costs: materials, transportation, food, lodging, and my translator.
These workshops mean so much to the artists I have the privilege of working with, and I’m excited to continue this exchange of knowledge, creativity, and friendship.
I hope you’ll consider supporting this project with a donation. Every contribution helps make this work possible.
You can learn more about the project and find the donation link on my website: lindalabelle.com
I have also put a link in my profile!
Thank you for helping me continue this work and for being part of this journey with me!
