Plant-based color for printmaking

Jacqui Symons’s practical guide connects the growing and identification of dye plants with making color materials and using them in print. It includes a plant-based color wheel and an A-to-Z reference to dye plants, alongside recipes for water-based inks, lake pigments, and oil-based inks for printing on paper. Textile methods receive separate attention, including mordant printing and ways to produce varied tones from one dye bath. Step-by-step projects demonstrate techniques and offer starting points for developing original work, while the book also makes room for experimentation and unexpected results.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Printmakers interested in making their own plant-based inks and pigments
  • Artists exploring natural color for paper or textile printing
  • Gardeners and makers curious about dye plants and their creative uses
