About Makerspace & Studio Membership
Why I Built This Space
I started Color Ashram because, after teaching natural dyeing, I saw so many folks unsure about how to keep going. This membership is for anyone who wants to turn skills into real, hands-on projects - not just keep learning, but actually making and experimenting.
Who You'll Meet Here
We’re not just a studio - we’re a bunch of nature lovers and creative types. Our Mysore makerspace is full of artists, textile enthusiasts, aspiring designers, and entrepreneurs. The vibe is super open - you can chill at the Live & Dye Cafe, chat over chai, and swap ideas. It’s all about collaboration and finding your own path.
What You Get
- Full access to our co-working studio in Hebbal
- A natural dye workspace with all the tools: vats, heating, color mixing lab
- Big tables for block printing, hand painting, textile upcycling studio corners
- Loads of wooden blocks and screen printing stuff to play around with
- Help with sourcing sustainable fabrics, herbs, and dye pastes
- Connections to local stitching services if you want to make garments
- Conscious designer mentorship - our team is always around for advice, especially if you want to build a brand
The Real Deal
If you’re determined and curious, this place is for you. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert yet. People like Perine came here, started small, and ended up launching their own clothing line. Everyone starts somewhere - you just need to show up and start creating.

My Story
Hey, we’re Color Ashram. 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.
