School Of The Forest Podcast Episode Nine; The Chemistry And Art Of Natural Dyes With Nora Gordon
Show Notes

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Nora Gordon. Nora is an incredibly talented textile artist and has spent the last year or so studying natural dyeing in order to add to the self-sufficiency and sustainability of her craftsmanship. Nora is a middle school science and math teacher by trade and brings a lot of insight into the chemistry of what's happening during the dyeing process, but explains it in a very straight forward way.  We had a great conversation about her philosophy of crafting, her joy at finding a community of local dyers willing to show her the ropes, and much more.
