About 9:30 we began Day 2 of our workshop with Ildoco mixing indigo dye and woad, a softer blue, to use on undyed fibers as well as to overdye some of the reds and yellows we'd done earlier. The silk fiber seems to take the dye best, and has a lovely sheen. After a lunch break, we completed our sample books, with all the work we had done, and retired to the house to prepare appetizers and supper.
Appetizers were deep-fried sage leaves, 4 cheeses, bread, salami, prosciutto, olives, tomatoes with oil, fresh basil and fresh mozzarella. Our main meal consisted of fettucini with olive oil, mushrooms, and parmesan, broiled chicken with grated truffles under the skin, steamed asparagus with lemon and garlic, and battered and deep-fried sambuco (elderberry) blossoms with sugar sprinkled on top for dessert. Our hosts joined us for this delicious meal.
