Before the Industrial Revolution turned us onto synthetic
blue pigments, artists and alchemists concocted the color using the woad
plant. In this new exhibition at The Hive Gallery, four artists—-Ellen
Fader, Judi Pettite, Miriam Fagan, and Jessica Serran—return to the source,
exploring natural blue hues in their multi-media work with woad. The
