Fine Craft and Art Shows at Chautauqua July 11–13 & August 8 –10, 2025
I have found my specific vocation is color mechanic and dyer. Currently I hand-dyed fine silks+ blends for Accessories+ Clothing. Procion and Acid dyes applied in colorways or extraction dye process using shibori techniques. Creating color effects or textures in very wearable styles. I begin with fabric on bolts. For each style I cut each piece.Depending on the style I may prehem, dye or tye dye as a first step. Each style may be dyed twice more. Final work may pleating or hemming. Accessories are my creative limited edition production as I grow my knowledge. Clothing I take on as private commisions .
