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

I keep my hands busy playing with natural textile dyeing,
weaving and playing with clay clay

surrounded by the lush growth of indigo,
I cultivate vibrant hues for use in my dyeing projects

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
