Sari Natural Dye Workshop

Learn traditional bandhani techniques to create your own hand-dyed Sari that will last a lifetime in this natural dyeing workshop! Pallavi from Hamesha Project will kick off our workshop with different traditional tying techniques, called bandhani, to create unique designs on your sari. It's a perfect activity to gather as a group or to celebrate South Asian holidays like Diwali, Eid, or Holi. Our saris were carefully imported from India and hand-made in small batches using fine mulmul cotton fabric. Each sari will be one-of-a-kind and you can wear your beautiful handmade creation with pride. In this workshop, you will be able to choose from three different dye baths:

• Marigold (using dried marigold flowers from our farm)
• Hibiscus
• Indigo

These three mediums produce stunning, and culturally relevant colors for your Sari. No prior dyeing experience is necessary for this workshop.We encourage anyone interested in learning how to dye and wanting to practice these techniques on a larger scale (our saris are 5.5 meters long!) to join! We’ve made this a four-hour workshop so everyone can be as detailed on their sari as they like.Light food and drinks will be provided, and we will have space and time to take breaks and wander around the greenhouse as well.

No skills required!
