BOTANICAL INKS
“Promoting earth-friendly and biologically nutritious products is integral to our mission.”
Botanical Inks provides contemporary traditional artisan natural dyeing services from our Bristol based studio. Including natural dyeing for textiles, clothing and paper products, and a range of surface application techniques, including Shibori tie-dyeing, bundle dyeing with flowers and plant material, organic indigo vat dyeing, block printing and screen printing with natural dye inks, Hapazome and ice-flower dyeing.
WORKSHOPS
We also tour the UK, providing natural dye workshops, and offer private tuition to suit individual requirements and interests.
SUSTAINABILITY
We harness environmentally sustainable colour from the local landscape, gathering wild plants, harvesting organic produce and re-cycling farm & food waste to extract colour, along with well sourced exotic natural dye extracts.
LOCAL
We prefer to use organic, locally manufactured fibres for our textiles and paper products, and work with a range of local suppliers of organic unbleached British grown peace silk, local organic wool and recycled unbleached paper.
