In collaboration with Flowershop Collective and Artist Samhita Kamisetty, we invite you to join us for this one-of-a-kind natural bundle dyeing class.
TICKETS are limited and can be purchased here for $70/person.
As a part of 'an archive is a space for gathering', produced by Flower Shop Collective, artist Samhita Kamisetty will share her knowledge of bundle dyeing, a unique process that uses local flowers, spices, herbs, and kitchen ingredients to create beautiful prints and patterns on silk. Beginner-friendly and open to all, you’ll leave this workshop with a one-of-a-kind piece, the knowledge to recreate this sustainable technique at home, and a greater understanding of the science behind natural dyeing.
