AbenaArt Studio

Natural dyeing is an embodied practice.

For me that means we arrive and engage with the plants through our bodies, our senses, our histories, our questions, our memories, our lineage, and the knowledge that we gather along the way.

I think that we learn through making, we learn through noticing, we learn through movement and sensation, we learn from the plants and materials themselves and from the histories and lineages that have shaped the ways we understand them.

🌿This is part of what I hope to make space for in my workshops 🥹 Yes we make beautiful things. Yes, we play with natural color. But we are also practicing a way of paying attention; attuning to our bodies, the plants, the environment around us and the knowledge available to us through the plants.

📣 I am now booking a limited number of Fall+Winter workshops for organizations, teams, schools, groups or private gatherings.
