Natural Dyeing Workshops in Athens

Transform textile with nature's colour.

Natural dyeing is where I feel most alive, and most myself when I'm teaching it.

Join me in my Athens studio, or find me at a hotel residency, a retreat, or a collaborative session with fellow makers. This is an opportunity to experiment, learn, and connect—with nature, craftsmanship, and a like-minded community. From each workshop you take home with you a handcrafted textile.

All dye materials are locally sourced acorn cupules, madder root, walnut husks. Fabrics are organic Greek linen and cotton.

Natural dyeing and artisanal techniques

Bundle Dyeing

Contemporary natural dye technique that transform flowers, leaves, bark, roots, and botanical elements into delicate prints on fabric.

During the process, these plants are carefully arranged and wrapped within the textile, then gently steamed, allowing their natural pigments to imprint colour and organic patterns onto the cloth.

Ancient Japanese resist-dyeing technique dating back to the 8th century, known for creating striking patterns through the careful folding, binding, and shaping of fabric.

In this process, textiles are manipulated into different forms before being immersed in natural dyes. As the fabric unfolds, intricate geometric and organic patterns gradually emerge.

Shibori

Eco-Printing

Mindful embroidery practice that invites participants to explore creativity through simple hand-stitching techniques.

Using natural yarns and textiles, guests learn a selection of gentle stitches while discovering the textures and qualities of different fibres such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool.

Slow Stich

Eco-printing is a process where we transfer the colours and patterns of leaves directly onto fabric by applying heat and pressure.

The plants release their pigments onto the fabric, creating intricate, natural prints that are full of texture and depth. This technique is a celebration of natures beauty, producing one-of-a-kind prints that reflect the seasons and the environment around us.

Batik

Batik is a traditional Indonesian wax-resist dyeing technique that we incorporate into our practice to create beautiful, layered designs.

The process involves applying wax to fabric, which resists the dye, allowing us to colour selected areas while leaving others untouched. We repeat this process multiple times, creating stunning layers of colour.
