This week Maiwa founder and natural dye instructor Charllotte Kwon is "up North." How far? Yellowknife. The far side of the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. There she is presenting a lecture and providing her week-long natural dye course to the Yellowknife Guild of Arts and Crafts. Is it cold? Let's just say Charllotte was happy to take a Qiviuk sweater with her.

Charllotte is roomed with Minnie Joldersma who has just put up a blog post about the experience of starting the workshop. Get the details here: http://60northofsixty.blogspot.ca/2012/11/charlotte-kwon.html
