About your instructor: Sue Hetrick
Sue Hetrick is an experienced botanical print and natural dye artist whose creative journey began in 2010 as a Crafts Marketing Major at Harrisburg Area Community College.
With a deep-rooted passion for the arts, Sue initially explored the realms of clay and glass, skills that continue to shape her artistic identity. However, it was during the challenges of the Covid lockdown that she found a new avenue for expression through botanical printing and dyeing.
Nestled on 22 acres of serene Perry County woodlands, Sue began a transformative period in her artistic practice. Focusing on extracting a blue pigment from the Cotinus plant, also known as Smoke Bush, she delved into the world of botanical printing; a medium that involves the transfer of plant colors and their patterns onto paper and fabric. Sue utilizes native plant varieties in her work, allowing the intricate process to unfold naturally, with the aid of elements such as heat, humidity, mordants, and tannins.
