The Fabric

Dyer Maker Studio©

The Art and Craft of Sustainable Textile Design

Natural dye materials and process
"Dyeing is an art; the moment science dominates it, it is an art no longer, and the craftsman must go back to the time before science touched it, and begin all over again." — Ethel Mairet, 1916

Dyer Maker Studio is a transportable, pop up maker space specializing in wearable art made from sustainable materials from the ancient world.

"My approach is minimalistic, using three colors, and only natural fabrics. I teach experiential workshops where participants create their own wearable art from the same materials that form the bedrock of making in human history."

Interwoven, the flagship venue for Dyer Maker Studio's "Dyeing to Wear It"® is a place where you learn to make, take a class, or teach a class in the creative fiber arts.

"The Wearable Lightness of Being"

All Dyer Maker Studio wraps are made from 100% silk and natural pigments. Each color is handcrafted from raw materials and extracted without the use of harmful chemicals.

Reflective of ancient cultural methods and hand processes of design, each piece is unique and may be wrapped in a number of ways to complement the individuality of the wearer.
