Winter is for studio time

​

The garden is dormant, the chickens are running free, and my cupboard is stuffed with a summer-full of dried dye plants. It's time to play in the studio!

​

In 2025, I upped my upcycle game. After four years of learning, experimenting, and sharing knowledge with many folks, I've happily found my niche. Upcycling gives new purpose to rummaging through thrift stores, one of my favorite pastimes.

​

My fall collection of upcycled garments and scarves made its debut at the Dolores River Brewery holiday market in early December. What a fun day! This was my first venture into sales with my garments, and I'm grateful that they were a hit! Pictured above: getting the garments ready for the event with a final rinse in collected rainwater and dried in the warm breeze.

​

Check back in early February - by then I hope to have the beginnings of the 2026 workshop schedule posted on the workshops page. 

​

Peace and happy dyeing!
