For us, water is everything, so natural dyeing isn’t just a trend - it’s our answer to the mess fashion leaves behind. Every piece is made with intention and a bit of jugaad (resourcefulness). You’ll find us obsessed with plant colours and simple living. ### What You’ll Find Here - Timeless, comfortable clothes made from organic cotton, khadi, and handloom. No polyester, ever. - Custom options if you want to tweak the fit or style - length, sleeves, whatever works for you. - Stuff for everyone: kurtas, yoga wear, palazzos, stoles, tops, unisex pieces. ### Our Unique Touch - Plant and mineral dyes that are gentle on your skin and easy on the earth. - Everything is either made to order or upcycled - check out our Resurrected Collection, where we flip “defects” or leftover stock into something new with shibori, eco-print, or block print. - If you have an old favourite that’s stained or faded, send it over for our #BiomeResurrect service. We’ll give it a second life with natural dye. ### Get Creative at Home Our natural dye kits are for anyone curious about DIY fabric dyeing at home. Try your hand at shibori or eco-printing with step-by-step kits (comes with everything you need and a sample cloth). ### How We Work We use hands-on techniques like shibori, eco-printing (with real leaves and petals), hand painting, and batik with soy wax. Every piece is different, and nothing goes to waste. It’s slow, but it feels right. ## Highlights Browse through Color Ashram's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/color-ashram-foundation/sustainable-apparel-diy-kits/featured) - ![We believe in clothing that feels good and does good.

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. ## More services from Color Ashram - [Custom Dyeing & Apparel Services](https://mytribe.in/color-ashram-foundation/custom-dyeing-apparel-services) · ₹750-1,800 per garment (estimate) - [Natural Dyeing Workshops & Training](https://mytribe.in/color-ashram-foundation/natural-dyeing-workshops-training) · ₹650-1,800 per person (estimate) - [Makerspace & Studio Membership](https://mytribe.in/color-ashram-foundation/makerspace-studio-membership) · ₹1,200-2,000 per session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Color Ashram on mytribe - [Channapatna Wooden Crafts by Bharath Art And Crafts](https://mytribe.in/bharath-art-crafts/channapatna-wooden-crafts) · ₹250-8,500 per set (estimate) · BHARATH ART AND CRAFTS - [Landscape Design & Installation by Seasons](https://mytribe.in/seasonslandscapers/landscape-design-installation) · ₹180-1,450 per sq ft (estimate) · Seasons Landscapers - [Plant Nursery & Sales by Shanki](https://mytribe.in/greens_n_organics/plant-nursery-sales) · ₹149-4,800 per plant (estimate) · Mysuru - [Full-Service Landscape Design & Build by Grafted Greens](https://mytribe.in/graftedgreens/full-service-landscape-design-build) · ₹250-1,650 per sq. ft.
