Liam Blackburn is the owner / operator of Iron Cauldron Colour Works, a small batch dye and pigment company specializing in custom projects and textile reproduction based in Toronto, ON. With the goal of helping to grow and support the Upper Canada Fibreshed, Liam works with natural and synthetic dyes as project appropriate but specializes in working with natural colourants. As someone who enjoys the intersection of artistic practice and scientific method, dyeing and textile arts was a natural fit for his interests and after finishing his BFA in Sculpture at OCADU, that interest grew into his primary artistic focus. From this, Iron Cauldron Colour Works was officially launched in 2021.
