Description

“In 2005 I took up natural dyeing seriously, and fell in love with indigo. Every year since then I have grown indigo and other dye plants and experimented with the fresh indigo nonvat techniques, especially with their application to cellulose.

There is a dual fascination with both the color play and the weave structure. To that end, I trademarked and introduced Dye-Lishus® cotton, a cotton that has been treated to accept any dye readily without extra chemicals, using less dye, water, and energy. In addition to spinning fiber, tools, and yarn, I launched a fabric line with four styles with different patterns of treated and untreated yarns.

In 2018 1 embarked on a study to recreate the natural colors used in marbling before the use of synthetics. I learned to make paints and inks for marbling, and developed a technique to marble tannins prior to dyeing.

I teach cotton spinning, weaving, natural dyeing, and marbling with natural colors locally, nationally, and internationally.”
