Casey Newman
fiber Arts
Casey Newman has a master's degree in forest ecology, which influences her nature-inspired work. She has been using natural dyes and creating leaf-printed work for over a decade. She teaches workshops throughout the Pacific Northwest and online.
Casey is a botanical print and natural dye artist who incorporates nature into her work in a variety of ways. She prints leaves onto fabric using only the natural pigments found within each leaf. Prints show the unique details of the plant and tell a story of season and place. She also uses natural materials—many she grows herself—to make colorful permanent dyes for fabric. Her work is centered around northwest native plants, and she uses all natural materials. Dyed fibers are washable and colors are permanent.
