Natural and Chemical Dyes

In the Fibers and Materials department at Tyler School of Art, I devoted a lot of my time in the Dye Lab. Resources for natural dyes, chemical MX dyes, and acid dyes are all available and waiting to be experimented with.

Below are pictures of some of the natural and chemical dye projects that I've made through playing with mordants, intensities, and fiber material.
