While I’m on the three month Dali arts residency Ive been able to wander across a few platforms in plant dyeing. Located some tea flowers that look like marigold and with a good alum mordant and tannin was able to experiment with kusaki zome plant dye on fabrics. Aka eco prints. 

The local Zhoucheng indigo centre helped  with the final vat dye.

Here are a few results.
