Kate Waterhouse
1899–1995, Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, Canada
The publication in 1977 of Saskatchewan Dyes: A Personal Adventure with Plants and Colours summarized a decade of intensive research and experimentation by the Saskatchewan dyer and weaver Kate Waterhouse.
Assisted by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and classes at the Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts, she developed an impressive body of knowledge about the dyes produced by prairie plants—knowledge that has enriched the work of many weavers in this exhibition (Margreet van Walsem, Ann Newdigate, Annabel Taylor, et al.).
