Welcome
Ibile Artist Sanctuary, a live/work residence and working studio on Wadmalaw Island SC, has the mission of growing Nigerian/Mali, Japanese and Caribbean indigo, and sweetgrass for processing and incorporating indigo dye into fabric art pieces.
Students, artists, and interested guests will be provided residential and/or workshop space to study and experience the full range of indigo cultural artistry. This home will be built using low to carbon negative materials and applications, including plant-based materials such as industrial hemp building materials.
Together with the other support buildings required to realize its mission, Ibile Artist Sanctuary will also strive to display to the impacted ‘communities of practice’ served, advances in the cost-effective application of both sustainable farming and energy solutions applications.
The Ibile Artist Sanctuary has been brought to life by:
