About SugaCayne:
SugaCayne Designs brings a unique carnival design aesthetic and “mas-building” experience from local and international Caribbean carnivals. We have been creating intricately designed carnival costumes in Toronto, Miami, Cayman Islands, and Trinidad for the better part of the last decade. Our application of the concepts and traditions have also become a great educational tool for our volunteers and student participants during high season and through year-round workshops.
About Indigo Ink:
Indigo is among the oldest inks and was the foundation of centuries-old textile traditions throughout West Africa. From the Tuareg nomads of the Sahara to Cameroon, clothes dyed with indigo signified wealth. Historically, indigo was a natural ink extracted from the leaves of certain plants and is the blue often associated with denim cloth and blue jeans.
