I’m drawn to natural dyeing for its meditative and intuitive qualities, and for the ability to create beauty without synthetic dyes. I believe the process invites a deeper connection to plants, textiles and place, a practice that feels collaborative rather than possessive. I adore the colours, smells and curiosity this process brings.
