Kathy Green

Kathy Green’s artistic journey began with the first class ever offered by Ah Haa School for the Arts in Daniel Tucker’s basement. While bookbinding proved too precise for her, that summer introduced her to the world of fabric dyeing, which has been a passion ever since. Over the years, she’s explored and taught many types of fabric dyeing and continues to teach about color.

Now that Bone Construction is happily closed, Kathy spends more time taking and teaching art classes at Ah Haa. She dabbles in many things beyond fabric dyeing – mostly printing and mixed media.
