the Refugee Collective Studio presents a workshop on Natural Dyeing

Natural Dyeing with Food Waste:

Whether you are new to natural dyeing or deepening your practice, welcome to a world where fabric, nature, and tradition intertwine.

Natural dyeing is more than just a way to add color to fabric: it’s a connection to nature, tradition, and the art of slow craftsmanship. By using plant-based food waste dyes during our workshops, we embrace sustainability, reducing the impact of synthetic chemicals on our ecosystems and working in harmony with the natural world. Each dye vat tells a story of the land, the seasons, and the processes of shifting hues within fiber.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
