The Natural Dye Company creates experiences of connection and healing through hands-on workshops, bringing people together through nature, community, and the exploration of natural dyes.

The Natural Dye Co. originally stemmed from a place of healing, curiosity, and surrender. When an unexpected health concern took place at the turn of 2023, my world turned upside down. Fortunately, I found solace in the exploration of natural dyes and deep, somatic work, where I cultivated an ease in surrendering to the unknown.

This shows up directly in what I produce—while I can choose the color dye I want to use, nuance will always exist in what I create. Colors shift in the dye bath, patterns change when I remove a shibori resist. The alchemical process of naturally dyeing is mysterious, and I saw that my creative process aligned directly with my healing process as my body is just as mysterious, and it will also shift and change.

Within this work I do, I have found the greatest gift is to share it within community, providing an outlet for others to explore, be creative and be intentional. It is an opportunity to connect with nature and each other; a chance to heal. A way to take care of yourself, and ultimately, a way to take care of me and each other, even within the simple act of making a natural dye bath.

This is the essence of The Natural Dye Company. It is vital that I am able to share my work and experience within community in a holistic, authentic and sacred way.
