Creating textiles from natural dyes is a labor of love involving
cultivation, harvest, textile preparation, and dye extraction. Add to
this the various surface design techniques and natural dyeing becomes a
labor of love. Cornell Professor Denise Green and students in her
Natural Dye Studio course designed textiles in brilliant hues of
yellows, reds, greens, blues, purples, and more. These naturally dyed
textiles made from a range of plants, including marigold, sunflower and
Japanese indigo are on display through June 2018.
