Online teaching resources

I prepared a selection of resources for those, who can't visit me in person.
I published 3 eBooks so far and I am working on another one as we speak. You can learn the very basics of plant dyeing, dive deep into the subject of mordants or get my dye garden manual. More info below.

(In 2021 together with Domestika we released an online class about dyeing textiles with plants.
It's +1h of video lessons in which I guide you step by step on your first natural dyeing adventure. )

Pocket guide to natural dyeing

A small booklet for absolute beginners. I wanted to make something, that wouldn't overwhelm, but would provide all the basic info on natural dyeing. This booklet is 10 pages long and talks about all the steps of the dyeing process. I also included tips for finding and extracting dyes, mordanting alternatives, and a bunch of hand-drawn illustrations. Print out on A3 or A4, cut and fold along the marked lines and keep in your pocket at all times.

Mordants for natural dyes

You know the basics but want to dive deeper? This is the publication you probably need. This eBook has two sections. In the "handbook" I talk about everything you need to know about mordanting, what substances to choose, how to test lightfastness and what are the alternatives. I share countless photographs from my studio, too. In the "workbook" you'll find all the recipes you need to mordant both plant and animal fibers. Over 70 pages of expert knowledge.
