Autor

Ann learned to sew; then she learned to dye fabric. In between, she earned a BA in Literature from Stanford University and an MA in Geography from the University of Oregon, married Jim, worked in Peace Corps Peru, and taught school in the US. By now, Ann has been putting dye on fabric for over 40 years. Her years of experimentation have led to mountains of hand-dyed fabric and hundreds of one-of-a-kind quilts. Since she wrote Dye Painting!, Ann has continued to explore even more variations that work best with Procion MX dyes. She has also enjoyed giving workshops all over the world, seeing first-hand how people learn and develop their skills with dyes. Color by Accident: Low-Water Immersion Dyeing, describes a quick and easy method to create richly textured fabrics. Her DVD, Color by Accident: Exploring Low-Water Immersion Dyeing is now used worldwide. The popularity of that book pushed her to write its companion, Color By Design: Paint and Print with Dye, a very complete manual of techniques for surface design with the same dyes. Both editions of her book The Quilter's Book of Design, exhibit many of Ann's quilts, all made exclusively with her hand dyed fabrics. If Ann isn't at home dyeing fabric or making quilts, you may run into her in a workshop or a lecture in the US or Europe, or more likely, somewhere on the road or trail with Jim and one or both of their sons, Scott and Tod and their families. Her most recent work can be seen in the book The Contact: Sierra Nevada, Dyed and Stitched and on www.annjohnston.net
