Highly skilled craftsmen have mastered the art of mixing dyes and carving patterns into wooden blocks. Roots, herbs, vegetables, fruit, and berries are used to create dyes of stunning color. This ancient technique can take years to ferment, before using. Each block is overlaying the next, creating intricate prints, one color at a time. There is a focus of slow rhythm, sacred and symbolic. The dyes are used for silk, wool, cotton and linen textiles.
