Similar to food and the act of sharing meals, our relationship to textiles—both creating them and using them—is a core tenet of our human experience. As with cooking, making textiles enables learning, shared experiences, conversations, and relationships.

The time-honoured traditions explored in this book have deep connections to the cultures from which they stem, and Vejar and Rodriguez present these techniques both to educate and inspire. Natural Dyeing: The Boundless Possibility of Color is an in-depth guide to a wealth of information.

Through their exploration of worldwide dyeing practices, the book compares and contrasts how people create colour—in a multitude of shades, tones, and varietals—within different contexts, showcasing that the art of creating colour is filled with endless possibility. The book will feature a number of new dyeing techniques along with detailed recipes and projects to replicate at home.
