Natural Botanical Dye Research (2019 - Present)

A visual diary of my on-going exploration of traditional and non-traditional dye materials which are responsibly sourced and/or locally foraged/grown plants, trees, and seeds. This research is incorporated into our collections and is part of a larger longterm vision to grow our own fibers and dye materials, in addition to working with local communities and artisans to share the knowledge we have gained through this research.
