For anyone who has ever looked at a leaf and wondered what secrets it might hold, Eco Colour: Botanical Dyes for Beautiful Textiles is a transformative guide that unlocks the extraordinary chromatic potential hidden in the natural world. India Flint, a pioneering eco-dyer and textile artist, presents a comprehensive and deeply practical handbook that instructs readers in the ancient yet revolutionary art of colouring fabric using plants, flowers, bark, and other organic matter — without the need for harsh synthetic chemicals or industrial fixatives. Grounded in Flint's decades of hands-on experimentation across three continents, the book argues passionately for a sustainable, mindful approach to textile creation that honours both the maker and the environment. Her prose is at once lyrical and instructional, weaving together botanical knowledge, artistic philosophy, and step-by-step technique in a way that is as inspiring as it is educational. Eco Colour chronicles a quiet revolution in craft and sustainability, leaving readers with an irresistible urge to step outside, gather a handful of leaves, and begin dyeing.
