Feedback Friday Videos from Botanical Colors

 

FEEDBACK FRIDAY is a bi-weekly show featuring Botanical Colors’ President Kathy Hattori and Sustainability + Communications Director Amy DuFault. Every week, Kathy and Amy speak with dyers, artists, scientists, writers and scholars about their favorite topic, natural dyeing and color.

FEEDBACK FRIDAY is now over 100 episodes strong and went live in May 2020, two months into the pandemic lockdown. Both Kathy and Amy realized there was a need to gather community in a creative space with artists worldwide scared, lonely, quarantined and unable to take a class or workshop for inspiration. The result has been overwhelming with over 10,000 people having attended a presentation at least once but many have been to more than half.

FEEDBACK FRIDAY presentations are viewed worldwide as part of college and university curriculum, natural dye and fiber organization conferences, education for global brands and independent designers and Amy and Kathy’s favorite venue, the attendees in different time zones who set their alarms to wake in the middle of the night to watch it live.
