This week on FEEDBACK FRIDAY we had natural dyer and specialist of non-toxic natural dyeing techniques and bio-regional, regenerative textile systems, Babs Behan. Babs is the author of one of the newest books in our book store, Botanical Dyes: Plant To Print Dyes, Techniques & Projects. She is also Founder of Botanical Inks , a non-toxic natural dye studio and the Bristol Cloth Project.

Babs tells us she is committed to the transformation of our textile industry and the possibility of global environmental and cultural regeneration. Inspired by her own connection with nature.
“I believe in the village-model of collaboration and solidarity, and the importance of fiber sovereignty (along with food and energy sovereignty). To empower ourselves at a local level as people who are connected to, and care for, our land and community.“
