Her latest project Botanic Hues is the culmination of years of experimentation with a multitude of traditional dyeing techniques using natural raw materials. Completely hands-on throughout the process, Nihara has spent hours of iterative and painstaking work trying to understand and master the ancient methods involved in the often unpredictable process of natural hand-dyeing.
