Making & Gathering: The Social Side of Craft
What do an 18th-century hearth cooking class, Scottish waulking songs, quilting bees, medieval guilds, and today’s fiber festivals have in common? They all remind us that making has never been just about the finished object. In this episode of Inside the Dye Studio, we’re exploring the rich history of gathering around craft. From women singing as they finished wool cloth in the Scottish Highlands to neighbors quilting together in rural America, people have always used making as a way to build community, share knowledge, and strengthen relationships. Join me as we look at the traditions that brought makers together for centuries—and why those same traditions still matter today. Whether it’s a guild meeting, a knit night, or a weekend fiber festival, the tools may have changed, but our desire to create together has not. Because sometimes the greatest thing we make… is community.

Mordants & Modifiers: Where the Magic Happens
Ever wondered how one dye pot can produce a whole range of colors? In this episode of Inside the Dye Studio, we’re diving into the fascinating world of mordants and modifiers—the behind-the-scenes chemistry that makes natural dyeing so endlessly surprising. Learn how mordants help color bond to fiber, how modifiers like acids and alkalines can dramatically shift a color, and why the same dye can produce completely different results with just a small change in the process. Along the way, I’ll share some of my favorite dye pot experiments, unexpected color transformations, and a few lessons learned from years of natural dyeing. Whether you’re a fiber artist, a curious maker, or simply someone who loves color, this episode offers a glimpse into the science, history, and magic behind naturally dyed yarn. One dye pot. Endless possibilities.
