My name is Elana. I’m a natural dyer and studio artist.  

I design and facilitate workshops that make natural dyeing accessible and rejuvenating to just about anyone.

I began teaching with a simple premise:

To offer diverse audiences the opportunity to see the creative potential of the natural world.

During the past 3 years, I’ve done just that. I’ve taught natural dye workshops for everyone from your grandma to CEOs, influencers, and artists like me.

I believe natural dyeing belongs to everyone and that we all can extract wild colors from plants
