"This workshop was all I ever dreamed of! Not only did Yu help me 1 on 1, but also helped give me the confidence to further create patterns and designs of my own. The history of indigo is so profound and is so healing in an ancestral way.
I love my creations and will definitely do more classes with Yu!"
