About Cheryl

Workshops and Apprenticeships

 

Cheryl has taught Natural Dye Workshops for over 30 years!

She is the Senior Master Natural Dyer in the world today, with 40 years of daily professional Natural dye experience. She has dyed everything imaginable from the usual silk, wool, cotton and hemp to the more exotic, such as porcupine quills and tagua nut buttons. She is a devoted educator, with books, workshops, lectures and world-wide consulting to her credit. Never stodgy or pedantic, Cheryl believes in having fun while creating beauty.

Apprenticeships

This program is currently closed. Cheryl asks: "find me an angel investor and I'll set up a true Natural Dyed production studio, and then I'll need several!"
