Botanical Dyes by Babs Behan

Botanical Dyes features recipes and top tips on everything you need to know
to make your own natural dyes.
The process of turning plants into print can help you reconnect with nature,
find a creative outlet and develop a mindful sense of presence. It also
promotes an awareness of sustainable practices and how to reduce our
impact on the planet.
Extracting from and updating her book Botanical Inks, Babs talks the home
crafter through everything from foraging for dyes, making mordants, creating
an array of colors and then putting your new knowledge to the test through
some simple projects.
With more than 10 dye recipes, clear step-by-step instructions,
troubleshooting tips and explanations of what works and why, Botanical Dyes
is the accessible handbook that modern makers everywhere have been
waiting for.

Babs Behan is the founder of Botanical Inks – an artisan natural dye studio
based in Bristol. Her work ranges from natural dyeing for textiles, clothing and
paper products, to surface application techniques, including Shibori tie-dyeing,
bundle dyeing with flowers and block printing.
