Anna is the Assistant Curator of Living Collections at Ganna Walska Lotusland. She enjoys propagating and harvesting dye plants, knitting, and making plant-based pigments for paint.
Hallie teaches art at La Colina Junior High. She loves the experimental process of dyeing with natural materials. She forages for mushrooms and lichens in the Santa Barbara foothills and backcountry to create dyes for fabric and yarn.
