Welcome to Living Colour magazine – a collection of projects and inspiration. Join me as we eco-print, eco-dye, sew and paint, craft and create with natural colours from the plants around us.
Issue 1 focuses on Black Knight Scabiosa, a very special dye plant. We’ll use the flowers to create dye baths, petal prints and dye blankets on paper. There’s also some extra tutorials about nettle ink, naturally dyed moons and more!

My hope is that this magazine can be like a workshop that you can hold in your hands. It’s not always possible to meet in person, and we already spend so much of our lives online. May these projects of living colour root you deeply in place, connecting with the plants around you and wearing the colours of nature.
