Natural Dyeing & Tie-Dye Workshops in Bengaluru

Bundles of fabric simmering in a rich, red dye bath made from Sappanwood. This is a crucial step where the fabric absorbs the natural color, creating the base for our vibrant tie-dye designs.

The big reveal! Participants unfurl their organic cotton stoles to see the beautiful, intricate patterns they created. The excitement in this moment is always palpable.

I gave my aunt's old linen shirt a new life with natural indigo. This is the power of upcycling, a sustainable practice that reduces waste and transforms forgotten garments into fashionable new pieces.

Students from Republic Polytechnic, Singapore, experiencing the art of natural dyeing. It was a wonderful session of cultural exchange, where they learned to create beautiful patterns with plant-based colors.

The process of natural dyeing is very hands-on. Here, a participant is squeezing excess water from the fabric before it goes into the dye bath, an important step to ensure even color absorption.

A beautiful flat-lay of our workshop setup, featuring bowls of natural dye materials and swatches of previously dyed fabrics. This gives participants a feel for the colors they can create.

A participant carefully folding her fabric to create a specific tie-dye pattern. The way you fold and tie the material is what determines the final design, making each piece unique.

Tying the fabric with string is a key part of the Shibori tie-dye technique. These resists prevent the dye from reaching certain parts of the fabric, which is how the beautiful white patterns are formed.

Participants at a workshop, fully engaged in preparing their fabrics for dyeing. I love the focused, creative energy that fills the room during these sessions.
