Natural Dyes
Nature Dyes It was born out of passion for the regular irregularity with natural dyes. Art and Science come together to transform colours and imprints through chemistry and creative design.
There is much to learn and about all of this. Thankfully, we have the long tradition, literature to rely upon. Post-industrial civilisation just forgot, since the advent of synthetic dyes, that nature can do it too, and somehow better and more beautifully.
Shifting colours reveal the underlying chemical interaction, flows, temperature, the seasons, the soil, the water… The last on this list but not the least!
I am keen to share some colourful imprints in my gallery.
Resources
This website is set up to share my learning with you. In this section you will find information and some instructions on a range of topics ranging from the process involved in preparing textiles for dyeing to the actual plants and their dyeing potential. I am also keen to share some of the artists and books where I have found further inspiration.
This section will be updated regularly with my latest practice, research, experiments, accidents, and serendipitously marvellous outcomes.
A Dye Garden
Explore this section to find out more about traditional and well known dye plants, as well as my own experiments and research on the potential uses of local plants.
