Featuring practical advice and techniques for creating your own pigments and applying these skills in everyday life, Gustafson also includes contributor essays offering historical and cultural perspectives on color cultivation and the meaning of pigments to various cultures. Gustafson was called the "ochre whisperer" by American Craft and noted as the "woman archiving the world's ochre" in the New York Times .
