What To Expect
You will meet me in my studio, where we will see examples of various important dye plants and samples of dyed fabric from my collection. I will spend some time introducing you to the history and craft of natural dyes, its relationship to local flora, and Cyprus folk textile traditions. We will extract color from one or two local or seasonal plants. I will also introduce a simple tie dye technique, related to a lost mysterious tradition from a Cyprus village. You will get to create a colorful silk handkerchief, which you will take with you as a souvenir.
