The Aya Fiber Studio is in Stuart, Florida. The owner, Suzanne Connors, has been practicing the art of aizome indigo dyeing over the last 13 years, and she opened the first dyeing workshop at the Fish House Art Center in Port Salerno back in 2014. The studio recently moved to North Stuart at 170 NW Dixie Hwy. Suzanne produces stunning textiles, but the studio also serves a secondary purpose. This goal is to educate locals and travelers about traditional Japanese craft and other fiber art genres via LIVE studio workshops by renowned artists
Taking an aizome workshop at The Aya Fiber Studio is a great way to gain a hands-on appreciation for a unique and traditional Japanese craft. The studio also hosts natural dyeing, surface design, stitching, and other textile workshops throughout the year. It also features a boutique gallery where you can buy various indigo-dyed and art-to-wear items in many hues of blue.
