ABOUT
My intention
To help you fall in love with natural colour & their sources. To guide you through the process so you can incorporate this age-old technique into your life with confidence, skill & joy.
Image a process so immersive, it slows down time, fills you with dreams of colour potential & possibilities. A process that opens you up to a new found curiosity & appreciation for the natural world.
Foraging for dye sources, extracting hues, creating dyes & applying colours can fill you with a deep sense of satisfaction, reverence and confidence all while nourishing your creativity.
We have become so disconnected from nature & the generous ways it provides for us.
When we look to our environment for colour, a interesting thing starts to happens, we walk through nature with new eyes.
Not only do we see & appreciate the beauty but we start to learn about the colour it holds, names of plants previously unknown, the rhythms of the seasons.
We connect to our environment, the seasons and the richness it provides, we learn to appreciate the cycles of nature differently. In seeking we learn first hand of the abundance nature holds through colour, food & medicine. Everything we need is provided for us & each locality holds a different palette!

Hi there,
I'm Kathryn
Self taught natural dyer, designer & author based in Dublin, Ireland. Professional chair collector, lover of textiles, plants & the colours of the natural world.
After falling down the rabbit hole into a world of natural colour & building a successful natural dye company, I switched my focus towards guiding others to discover the beauty & satisfaction of this traditional art for themselves.
I believe in the value of living a creative life. In learning new skills & finding what makes you happy outside of family, friends, work & everyday obligations. There is so much sustenance to be had from connecting to the abundant beauty of nature, learning about plants & the stunning range of colours they provide.
I am here to guide you through the process.
