My primary expertise is in dyeing natural fibers in environmentally friendly methods using natural-dye extracts. Services include instruction, consultation on methods, costs, processes, and viability and dyeing of natural fibers. I also have considerable experience in natural-fiber manufacturing and construction techniques including weaving, spinning, and knitting.
For over twenty-five years, I have served as an international consultant specializing in weaving and other fiber arts, production efficiency, and design. I have lived and consulted in the Caribbean, Africa, and the United States, and I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds, ages, and skill levels. Skilled in translating customer’s stated and unstated expectations into handwoven articles, I know how to translate vision into art inspiration.
