I am passionate about clothing that is low impact and easy to wear and believe that slowness is a great recipe for anything life. Garments are a great anchor for stories and memories, in which our clothes can be woven into and is essential in encouraging a little more thoughtful consumerism. I use various materials and processes including vintage french linen and cotton, organic, low impact fibers and natural dyes and everything is proudly sewn and designed by me here in the south of France. I especially love the natural dyeing process, often described as "living colours". They have a charm and personality very unlike chemical dyes with the much higher energetic vibration of life. And recycling a beautiful piece of vintage fabric brings me a big old sense of peace and satisfaction.

Class Project: Create Your First Naturally Dyed Textile
For your class project, you’ll create your own naturally dyed fabric using the techniques covered in the course. This can be a tea towel, napkin, T-shirt, or any piece of natural fiber you have at home.
Follow the steps we’ve learned—from scouring and mordanting to dyeing and aftercare—using plants or food scraps you can source locally or from your kitchen. You can try a solid dye bath or experiment with bundle dyeing for a more spontaneous result.
