Mysore called us in, and now it’s home. Started by me, Namrata, and Arun, this place is a mix of visual arts, theatre, dance, and a whole lot of heart. Sometimes you’ll find a Finnish grandma and a Dubai artist hanging out here, all ages, all stories. We’re not just a studio - we’re a space where hands get messy, ideas spark, and every day feels like a festival. We love connecting people to the earth, one color-stained palm at a time. ### My work - **All Our Services**: Natural dye training, eco-printing workshop, batik, indigo, playback theatre, studio memberships, internships, upcycled clothing service, custom design, DIY kits. - **Open Makerspace**: Anyone can join - homeschoolers, artists, hobbyists, travelers. Age, background, doesn’t matter. Just bring your energy. - **Hands-On Learning**: We forage, we grind, we stain our hands. It’s about learning by doing, and sometimes unlearning too. - **Community & Collaboration**: Talks, music, artist jams, ecological days. We connect local and global folks for real conversations and creative work. - **Upcycling & Conscious Clothing**: Got old clothes? We upcycle and re-dye. Plus, we make organic cotton yoga wear, naturally dyed and climate-friendly. - **Innovation in Color**: We’ve got one-step dyes, and we’re tinkering with microbial dye innovation. Always searching for easier, greener ways. ## Book To book Color Ashram, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Color%20Ashram.)
