Teaching

Dear Colleagues,

For the most part, I have now discontinued my in-person travel/teaching. I am confident that the book that Joy Boutrup and I published with Schiffer Publishing Co. in 2019, The Art and Science of Natural Dyes and The Studio Formulas Set will continue to be a valued resource for natural dyers everywhere.

BUT this year, I am making one exception and will teach a class at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC to honor the memory of my dear friend and fellow natural dyer, Donna Brown. We will be sourcing natural dyes from the extensive Folk School Garden and will build a fermented indigo vat. Come join us if you can!!

In the meantime, I will continue post information about my ongoing natural dye studies and experiments on the blog, Natural Dyes, Experiments and Results. As always, I will be happy to answer or puzzle through questions when I can.
