using plants I’ve grown and nurtured to dye textiles connects me to an undertaking that gives me more curiosity for the materials used, as well as the process itself
hola! LoriA here… I’m a farmer, textile dyer and all around experimenter
dyeing | weaving | throwing clay
surrounded by the lush growth of indigo,
I cultivate vibrant hues for my dyeing projects… in my hands, I weave our alpaca fiber and the tactile joy of clay allows me to shape and mold nature's essence into tangible forms
all textiles are vat dyed on the farm
in pachaug, connecticut
work can be purchased at farm markets, boutiques and online
indigo starts and persicaria tinctoria seeds are available in the spring
natural plant dyes can be a beautiful and safe alternative to common synthetic dyes
