Biography:

Hi, I am Sarah from Hooked on Leaves, I am natural dyer and textiles artist, I have always loved nature and crafts so when I discovered botanical printing and natural dyeing in 2019 it seemed a perfect fit, which quickly became a passion!

I use plants, flowers and leaves to hand dye and print textiles. I make wearable art from natural fibres like silk, wool, linen and cotton, combining the crafts I love such as sewing, crochet and weaving. I also like to use upcycle fabric and clothing, to give new life to unwanted textiles.

I can often be found gathering the leaves, flowers, and plants in the Chilterns where I live or from my own garden where I grow my own flowers to use for dyeing. The connection to nature and the excitement of unbundling a piece that has been eco-printed or dyeing a skein of yarn in a beautiful plant dye is what keeps me coming back for more!
