OUR PROCESS
STEP ONE
The first step is to establish color fastness with alum, soy milk or other natural pre-treatment. Then plant materials such as leaves, vegetables, berries, and found metals are collected and laid out in a design on the fabric.
Kathleen's work in printmaking and fiber art is a convergence of her artistic self. Her large bodies of work empahsize her respect for the environment both in inspiration and process. She employs non-toxic and sustainable chemistry in all disciplines of her work.
