Botanical dyes
Botanical dyes are made with pigments extracted from plant sources and used to dye fabric without a mordant. The simple method preserves the natural beauty of the colors. Color fading is a feature of botanical dyes and the full evolution of the pigment is something to behold. A beautiful range of botanically derived colors are featured in Arts & Science textiles for your enjoyment.
