We are so excited to feature local fiber artist and dyer Kristin Morrison at our retreat this year!
Kristin’s quote on her website says it all:
“Through the process of foraging and alchemizing plants into natural dyes, I explore the inherent connection of humans with nature, the relationship between us, and how we can draw upon the plentitude of nature, to nourish, heal, design and create.
Because humans exist as part of the natural world, it is imperative that we not compete with nature, but instead participate and commune with nature, not only for our survival, but also for our prosperity as a species.”
She a dyer and uses natural dyes to print on textiles – check out these results from using a traditionally Japanese technique called hapazome – pounding flowers and plants onto alum-mordanted cotton!
I can’t wait to see what Kristin decides to teach at the retreat. Her classes are sure to fill up quickly, so don’t delay registering!
