Natural Dying (2026)

I’ve been trying to find my three preferred colours in nature. I’ve managed to dye the powder blue colour with black beans. I’m currently working on an indigo vat with Hannah Kirkham to try and achieve the prussian blue. Lastly, I’m hoping to find the red by dying with madder roots in the summer from a harvest at The Newbridge Project.

Aside from my preferred colours, I’ve explored a range of other colours from cabbage, tea, coffee, yellow onion skins, avocados, eucalytpus bark. It’s a calming and enjoyable process.
