Colors from Our Roots: Anthropology and Natural Dyeing

Humanity's bond with nature is as old as the first leaf imprint left on a piece of cloth. My education in Anthropology at Istanbul University provides me not only with an aesthetic vision but also a deep historical foundation when working with plants in my studio today. PDF For me, natural dyeing is not merely about coloring fabric; it is the practice of reviving the fading memory of our ancestors who extracted colors from tree barks, leaves, and roots. The slow making philosophy at the heart of LEAF & LOOM is precisely rooted in the effort to keep this ancient craft alive today.
