Description:
Collect lichens from trees, ground, and rocks and
process them into vibrant and muted dyes that color
fibers without the use of caustic chemicals. Craftswoman
and author Karen Casselman says “Lichen
dyes are an education in ecology and ethics. To use
lichens is to explore the point where craft and material
culture intersect science and natural history.”
Create a reference sampler to guide your own lichen
dyeing projects.
