Eco Colour
Eco Colour: Botanical dyes for beautiful textiles
India Flint
Internationally renowned dyer and artist India Flint draws on her years of experience and experimentation in natural dyeing techniques to present an expert, highly accessible and achievable handbook of ecologically sustainable plant dye methods using renewable resources, most of which can be found in the average home garden.
'Eco Colour' is regarded by many as a textbook of sustainability and uses an exciting range of projects to demonstrate a variety of techniques, some of them processes developed by the author, including the now widely adopted ecoprint. Projects range from solar dyeing to dyeing with 'ice-flowers'. The result is a boundless range of pure, gentle, natural colours produced with the least possible harm to the environment and the dyer.
Now in paperback, an expert, highly accessible and achievable handbook of ecologically sustainable plant dye methods using renewable resources.
