Art, natural pigments and writing by Annie Bolitho.

Annie is a writer and artist who is inspired by transience, change and play. She works with materials found on the lands of Naarm. Her versatile workshops and projects making natural pigments, upcycled fabric and small books flourish where communities gather: in libraries, neighbourhood centres, hospitals, aged care, and at festivals.

“Annie guided a group (ages 7-70) on a discovery of the wetland to reveal wondrous colours & textures of nature in a place that has often been regarded as a wasteland. So much fun! Client, Friends of Altona Wetland.“
“You don't as an adult get to play very much. I had a great time just playing and experimenting with different things, and coming up with ideas to take away. Eco-dye participant. Participant, Eco-dyeing at Ceres”
“Every summer we usually do tie dye tops with the kids but it's very spurt and spray. This year we’ll be able to switch it to foraging, connecting with nature and dyeing with natural materials. Participant, Eco-dyeing at Ceres”
“Annie gets you to slow down and consider what's right in front of you. I think we're all craving this. Having her as a guide to stop and listen and look and touch and break things down and build things up again is very connecting. Participant, Eco-inking in the garden”
