Bruce Sargeant Paintings 2021 Calendar

Really inspirational book, just as I'd hoped it would be. Its packed with images and very useful practical information, as well as lots of lovely anecdotes and background information. Highly recommended for anyone interested in using plants for natural dyes and especially if you are looking for a deeper insight. This could never be a book with "quick fix how to do" activities that you just copy without doing some of your own creative experiments, natural dyes just don't work like that; this really is a highly captivating process which will require some time and experimentation on the part of anyone exploring it - but that time will be deeply rewarded. This book has all sorts of really great lists of dye plants, dye mordants, dye modifiers etc and there's some brilliant information about health and safety, toxic plants etc - things you need to know before embarking on using natural dyes. I've just started creating eco prints with plants and this book has given me a massive extra insight into all sorts of wonderful things connected to that. Plus its a really beautiful book, the illustrations are gorgeous.
