What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Céline Philippe provides both a beginner’s guide to plantbased dyeing and an accessible study of the science of the craft. She breaks down complicated chemistry, like how the aluminum content and the pH of any given plant will affect its ability to dye. At the same time, her instructions for making dyes are as straightforward and easy-to-grasp as you can get. A section called “The Quest for Colors” functions a little like a cookbook, with recipes for how to create specific dyes. Wild Dyeing is also a kind of botanical dictionary, with beautiful photographs of flowers and plants that will inspire readers of all kinds, from professionals to the dye-curious.” — BOOKPAGE
