Serah Hedin is a fibre artist and herbalist living and working in
Calgary, AB. Her work
explores the pursuit of natural colour from foraged plants and
mushrooms to historical dye
extracts. In her most recent works, she connects with the nature world
around her, finding
links to the present and past. The process of natural dyeing leaves a
lasting imprint on the
fibers preserving layers of experience.

School of the Arts:
Centre of Craft and Design in Nelson, BC and Weaving at the University
College of the Fraser
Valley in Abbotsford, BC. Serah continues to build upon her knowledge
of natural dyeing and
weaving through studio time and study with other artists in Canada,
the United States and
Mexico. Hedin has shown weaving, embroidery and installation work in
group exhibitions in Calgary, AB and
