Handweavers Guild of Boulder
October 2020 Day & Evening Program
The way that conventional color is applied to clothes is broken. “Wet processing” as industrial dyeing is called, is one of the top polluters in the world, consuming enormous amounts of energy, water and petrochemical based colorants.
Botanical Colors supplies artisans and industry with the materials and know-how to dye textiles in a way that uses less water, is non-toxic and biodegradeable and draws its incomparable color palette from humble plants and natural sources. All colors are sustainably derived, many from agricultural and food waste products.
Botanical Colors studios are located in Seattle, Washington where they offer production dyeing and do fulfillment.
Botanical Colors offers guidance, support and consulting for emerging designers, brands and artisans. Feedback Friday is a weekly online series providing hour-long video discussions with guest experts.
