We made it! Natural Dye Plant CSA Coming this Spring
|
A big big big thank you to all the folks who supported our Kickstarter campaign and made it successful! Thanks to your generosity, we raised the $2200 and then some to get this going. We can’t wait to get starting with planning, building, planting, and more. Look for membership registration to be open in early April! For $300, members will enjoy a June – November season, with several picks up for their dye plants. Workshops, classes, and events for members will aid them in planting, harvesting, and using their new dyes

Hello! I am one of your Kickstart contributors, and I’m so excited about the work you do. I look forward to following your growing season.
I am a dyer of wool with plant materials, myself. I have for many years dyed wool with plants harvested and grown in Colorado where I lived. I have now moved to New Mexico, and am planning my dye garden. I’m wondering if we could compare notes as we sow, nurture, and harvest our dye plants–compare NYC to rural New Mexico! What do you think?
I look forward to updates on your work, and corresponding with you, if that is possible.

Yes, absolutely. Do you think you could send an email to us at info@textileartscenter.com? That is the best way to correspond on this
