About Siân:
Siân Lester is an artist with a long-established career in textiles, specialising in sustainable approaches associated with her season-based dyeing, art and research. She integrates and shares these processes within her visual and socially engaged arts practice. Over the last 10 years, Siân has focused on experimenting extensively with plant dyes and attended many international natural dye conferences where she has learnt from master dyers, evolving her thinking and making. Her practice and teaching moves away from commercial, chemical-based textile processes to a slower, kinder and more ethical approach, rooted within the rhythms and cycles of the environment. Siân’s methods encourage multi-sensory bonds with plants and colour, supporting biophilic and conscious connections to place, land and local ecologies.
