Plant colors – dyes, pigments and inks

Introduction to plant colors

Michel Garcia is an essential reference in France in the field of plant colors. This book is a contemporary and accessible introduction to the many possibilities offered by these natural dyes today.

What you’ll discover

Throughout the pages, we discover the secrets of natural dyes, paints and inks, and we learn how to make them and then use them in various projects (textile arts, decorations, stencils, etc.).

Michel Garcia shares many recipes, as well as tips and tricks for both beginners and curious amateurs.

My personal opinion

I would recommend this book mainly to beginners. The recipes are simple to make, the vocabulary remains clear and accessible: it is a very accessible book that allows you to acquire good basics.

On the other hand, if you already have knowledge in this field, it is not essential.

Newsletter

No unnecessary fluff here: I only send a newsletter when I truly have something to announce (workshops, classes, new recipes, etc.). On average, that’s about 1 newsletter every 2 months.
