About

Since stumbling upon the beauty of natural colour while at University, Olivia has taught in classrooms, floral studios, museums and festival fields, in an effort to re-enchant people with the natural world around us. She is often found enthusiastically explaining how magical a handful of wood or a smattering of petals can be in the hands of a dyer. Olivia seeks to rekindle the knowledge of this forgotten craft; allowing us to live more connectedly with nature, in the way our ancestors knew to be best.
