Kelp, colour and wild fibre with Lydia Miller

Lydia Miller weaves with the wild. From ocean-foraged kelp to antlers, sticks and horsehair, her sculptural fibre works are shaped as much by intuition as by ecology. In this episode, Lydia shares how place, process and material co-create her art – and how slowing down, paying attention, and working with what you have can transform both your creative practice and your connection to the natural world.Alongside weaving, Lydia also works with natural plant dyes, growing and foraging colour from her own garden. Her practice reminds us that creativity can extend from the soil to the studio, with every season offering new possibilities.🌿 As a gift to listeners, Lydia has created The Plant Lover’s Guide to Solar Dyeing – a free downloadable resource to help you begin growing, harvesting, and creating your own natural dyes at home. You’ll find the free resource on the podcast page on our website.Visit our website to view Lydia's work, explore our courses, or dive into more articles and interviews.
