this is my magnum opus…the big one.

 

A masterclass in the essentials of ecologically sustainable eucalyptus dyeing, from the woman who gave the eucalyptus ecoprint to the world. Named after the first book ever to have been written about the genus, this course explains the secrets of eucalyptus dyes and how to get the best and brightest colour from your leaves. We compare steamed and boiled eucalyptus ecoprints on cloth and paper, brew dyes and look at ways of influencing the colours using the presence of metals; as objects to wrap around, pots to boil in and substances to infuse in assorted liquids to obtain magical potions.

I dispel the myths and explain the magic.
