Carol Reed is a natural dyer. She trained as a painter however a batik course in Italy introduced her to batik and dyes. Although dyeing is an unusual medium choice it actually is applicable to many substrates including paper, skin, wood, etc. After many years using synthetic dyes an interest in local resources, love of planting and the seasons led her to natural dyes. Currently she has her own dye garden and sources additional dyes through connections with local farmers and community members. She was born in Carlisle Pennsylvania and has lived and worked in the north east of the United States. Having been raised in a family of architects and art appreciators, art has always been a part of her life. Carol has traveled widely in the U.S. and Europe and a little in S. America. She would like to explore South and Central America further, especially their textile and dye traditions.
