Betty de Paris in her studio, Paris, France

Fabric artist Betty de Paris, at work in her studio at Cite Aubry, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, France, dipping a piece of fabric into a vat of natural indigo dyes using traditional Japanese techniques. The Japanese indigo vat is a traditional dyeing technique using indigo leaf compost, a vegetal process involving no chemicals. Betty de Paris learned her art of traditional stencil dyeing and finishing from a master in Kyoto, Japan. Working as an artist, designer, consultant and Japanese interpreter, she has participated in numerous museum projects and workshops, regularly exhibits her work and speaks at international conferences.
