In this 3rd DVD from Slow Fiber Studios, Michel Garcia illustrates the magic of colors from plants and insects. Beginning with a playful demonstration with garden flowers, Michel develops foundations for dyes to pigments – inks for calligraphy, paints for printing and silk painting, pure pigments for watercolor, lake pigments and Maya Blue for wood and plaster walls, and dye extracts for one-bath dyeing of protein fibers.

The Foundations for the Colors of Europe will open doors to those who work with colors and live with imagination. Enjoy!
