Synopsis

This accessible handbook sets out what you need to know to create your own botanical dyes, with more than 10 dye recipes, step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting advice. Drawing on and updating the author’s earlier work, Botanical Inks, it guides home crafters through foraging for dye materials, making mordants, building a range of colours and applying the results through a selection of straightforward projects.

Alongside explanations of what works and why, the book also highlights sustainable practices and ways to reduce impact on the planet. A considered choice for modern makers interested in slow craft, foraging and plant-to-print techniques.
