Ever looked at naturally-dyed fabrics and wondered… “how did you make that?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s why I made the Colour Catalogue. I’m giving you every single recipe I’ve ever made while running Studio Tinta. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t want you to just read the instructions. I want you to see how to get from A to B. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the best way to do that is by seeing what ingredients and processes create each colour and pattern. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you’ve gotten a few wins from these recipes, you’ll be able to successfully create your own one-of-a-kind designs and patterns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join now and get your hands on 50+ recipes at the link in my bio - Doors close in just 2 days! 💕

Before & after 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I’m so scared I’ll stuff it up! What if I ruin my expensive fabrics?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hear this all the time from aspiring natural dyers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They have this picture perfect vision of what they want to create... but their inner-perfectionist paralyses them from ever getting started. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which means? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They end up with a pile of fabric sitting in the back of the wardrobe, begging to be dyed. Or they’ll scroll past another design on Instagram and think to themselves, “If only I could design something like that.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sound familiar? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s the thing― ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Making mistakes is all part of the natural dyeing journey! (This dress was even a mistake) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In fact, some of my favourite designs have been a result of mistakes I made early on in the process. Or because I gave myself freedom to see where the ingredients or a different technique would take me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, no. I won’t promise you won’t ever make a mistake ― even with the help of Natural Dye School. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But what I *can* promise is that you’ll do it less often. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because inside Natural Dye School, you’ll have all the right steps in the right order to greatly *reduce* your chances of “stuffing up.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you *do* pull out a blotchy piece of fabric, you’ll also have all of my troubleshooting strategies to rescue it so it doesn’t go to waste. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And each resource is designed to get you implementing as quickly as possible so you can start practicing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The more your practice, the more consistent your results will be, and the more confidence you’ll have to dye your expensive fabrics! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This all starts with overcoming your perfectionism and just getting started… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S.

As a full-time parent to two little ones aged 1 and 3, I know just how scarce time is. Between running my business in a tiny apartment, making sure everyone is clothed & fed, and juggling all the emotions from the lockdowns, I rarely have time these days to indulge in me-time or my creative outlets. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m willing to bet that many of you are in the same boat, kids or no kids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You *want* to learn a new hobby and do something creative with your hands… but there’s no way you can squeeze in a new course right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s why I designed Natural Dye School to be a self-paced, portable resource that you can fit into your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of sitting in front of your laptop for hours, you can print out the Natural Dye School Workbook or access it via an APP on your phone. *Yes, you can download an app for Natural Dye School!* ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can get inspired by the recipes in the Colour Catalogue while waiting at the dictions or in the school pick-up line for your kids. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or you can even bring it into bed with you for some light bedtime reading 📖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That way, when you do find yourself with a spare afternoon to yourself (*gasps*), you’ll know exactly what you need to do to start natural dyeing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d love you to join me and all of my wonderful students. Head to the link in bio to join Natural Dye School - doors open in only 2 days! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS. You also get lifetime access to the course.
