Color Ashram: Sustainable Makerspace & Natural Dye Studio in Mysore

Our studio membership is your launchpad for turning ideas into reality. This is the story of Perine, who joined us to learn natural dyeing and went on to create her own beautiful clothing collection right here in our makerspace.

We are honored to host experienced designers like Arati Monappa, who use our studio to create with intuition and a deep respect for natural materials. Witness the mastery of hand painting on fabric, a process that is both meditative and expressive.

This is where the next generation of conscious entrepreneurs begins. We provide the tools, space, and guidance for young creators to learn the art of natural dyeing and build the sustainable brands of the future.

Color Ashram is a space to connect with yourself, with others, and with nature. Our community is a vibrant mix of artists, designers, students, and hobbyists from all over the world, all sharing a passion for mindful creation.

We are always innovating to expand the possibilities of natural color. We've developed a unique range of oil-based natural paints, allowing artists to bring the beauty of plant and mineral pigments to their canvas work.

Every person who walks through our doors has a unique story. Listen to one of our members share her personal journey of moving away from conventional materials and rediscovering her love for making things by hand in a more sustainable way.
