Natural Dye Production and Research


I am making more dyes today.....Logwood is simmering below into an extract and persimmon rinds are soaking awhile before they get cooked down. As I am leaning on methods I learned years ago in Japan during grad school, I am also researching newer methods and tips from master dyers as I come across their work online. I will post details and links in coming weeks as I am still gathering information to share but I want to give a huge shout out to a local dye company in Seattle called Botanical Colors. I have joined a few of their summer Zoom meet ups with some amazing master dyers, and I am so grateful to be introduced to some new references in my research. Thank you so much to Kathy Hattori and the folks at Botanical Colors for starting the Feedback Friday series!
