Introducing my new magazine, Living Colour

It’s like a workshop you can hold in your hands

It’s not always possible to meet in person, and we already spend so much of our lives online. May these projects of living colour root you deeply in place, connecting with the plants around you and wearing the colours of nature.

No more throwing random leaves on fabric and hoping for the best!

It’s fun to experiment. But it’s more fun when our experiments actually work, because we understand all the variables, and which ones we can play with. Let me help you to get beautiful results, easily and naturally.

They teach you the exact methods I’ve spent years honing, so that you can jump right in and feel confident in the bundles you unwrap. They can be purchased individually or get all 4 in my ebook bundle

Kind words about my ecourses

"Louise’s course was my introduction to eco-printing and I’m so glad I did it! She carefully and clearly explained everything from the beginning and was hugely generous with her time and knowledge in answering questions and providing feedback. A whole range of basic skills and approaches were covered, and she’s given me the perfect springboard to carry on my eco-printing journey. Thanks so much Louise!"
Kat Szabo
“Very well structured eco dyeing course. Excellent videos that clearly demonstrate techniques and processes. I particularly found the tips about folding differently shaped garments useful. Louise is a generous, responsive and encouraging instructor. The course is very good value and provides virtually endless learning experiences and the chance to experiment and get feedback and comments from others doing it.”
