A year ago I started making a quilt as part of my research on #MakingSlowColour A 🪡 on progress so far: Block #1 began in my kitchen with food waste. Onion skins create deep orangey yellows & khaki greens with an iron modifier. Avocado stones give pinks & lavender greys (1/6)
Really looking forward to talking tomorrow about slow research methods, quilt making and natural dyeing (and a bit nervous!) Thanks for having me @UoMICP ! @GeographyUOM #MakingSlowColour

A collection of fabrics I’ve dyed in 2022 since starting the #MakingSlowColour project. Something very satisfying about lining up the pieces, looking closely at subtle differences in colour, and thinking about how to turn these into a quilt 🪡 #plantdyes #naturaldyeing
#cottonopoliscollective x #makingslowcolour collab continues to delight! Check out the inky fungus dye 🍄 @laurajpottinger is making this weekend, collected on site @QuarryBankNT, getting ready to experiment with dying #cottonopolis era archives/maps onto Quarry Bank cotton cloth

Shaggy ink cap mushrooms! They look like little squids. After 24 hours they are dissolving into a pungent squidgy ink 🖤🦑 #UKFungusDay #MakingSlowColour
@laurajpottinger is a Geographer at the University of Manchester researching natural dyeing, and is supporting the project too. More on this research project at #MakingSlowColour 3/4
Collecting materials and mud samples for a new project. Together with an interdisciplinary team of researchers and artists, we're exploring how Manchester's industrial legacies might be visualised on cloth #cottonopolis #MakingSlowColour #naturaldyeing #slowmaking
I simmered samples of cotton fabric and wool yarn in this solution then left them to cool overnight. The result is more grey than the brown I expected, with only subtle colour shifts after modifying with citric acid, iron and soda ash #MakingSlowColour #naturaldyeing
After soaking the walnuts for a week the liquid is a thick, dark, inky, greeny-black. It smells quite sweet and spicy and looks like it will stain anything it touches #MakingSlowColour #naturaldye #plantdyes
Tansy - foraged from the Fallowfield Loop, topped up with flowers from Debdale heritage dye garden. Makes a sunny yellow 💛 #MakingSlowColour #naturaldye #plantdyes #naturaldyeing #dyegarden
Early experiments with onion skin dye on cotton and linen. Beautiful range of colours from one dye pot (+ iron + soda ash modifiers) #MakingSlowColour #naturaldye #plantdyes #naturaldyeing
#MakingSlowColour asks: How might natural dyeing create new relationships with plants, environments +places? What does it mean to make things slowly + collaboratively? I'm keen to hear from anyone working on similar, so please follow or get in touch for more info🌺🪡❤️🧡💚💜🤎
#MakingSlowColour is a new(ish) project exploring natural dyeing with textile makers, designers, artists+ growers. It’s a slow project, carried out part-time, 2021-27 @GeographyUOM. I’ll be researching #naturaldyes using creative methods + attempting to learn these skills myself
