About Our Community & The Ashram Space

Walking into our studio, you will see a mix of serious fiber science and casual creativity. You might find a design student testing natural pigments in the lab, while at the next table, a local visitor is trying block printing for the first time. It is a working space that relies on honesty and shared learning rather than polished, exclusionary gatekeeping.

I'm Namrata. Arun and I started this space because we wanted a place where the doors stay open and hands stay busy with earth-friendly dyes. When you visit our ashram, you are not just a guest, you are part of our ongoing experiment to clean up fashion, one color at a time.
