Redefining the Role of Fabric as an Art
Preserving the art of hand dyeing and hand printing.
Melanie Audet Limited Editions is a small, artist-owned enterprise located in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado. With over 20 years of experience in hand dyeing, I work with both synthetic and natural dyes. In my home studio, I hand-dye and print on fabric, fine art, and ready-made items. Items are available for purchase as is or transformed into distinctive pieces. My expertise in this craft is ever-growing, and I continually expand my knowledge. Hand dyeing is my primary focus, and I outsource my sewing to small, independent U.S. businesses or select pre-made items from ethically responsible companies.
Changing Perspectives with Hand-Dyed Fabric
My goal with my work is to heighten awareness of fabric’s importance and artistic value. Through a dedication to hand dyeing and printing, I have a desire to foster a greater appreciation for the craftsmanship and significance of fabric in everyday life. Every piece is unique in its own way, and though color schemes in some pieces are the same, no two pieces are alike.
