ABOUT
Calyx Studios is a multidisciplinary creative agency designing in collaboration with the natural world. Led by Cara Marie Piazza, a natural dyer and artisan with 10 plus years of experience. We offer natural dye applications for fashion, interior design and the arts. We create our conscious colors by only using natural dyestuffs such as botanicals, plant matter, minerals, non-toxic metals and food waste, transforming each project. Industry meets alchemy. By sharing this knowledge our studio believes we can help empower and heal with creative play. We offer workshops on the public and corporate scale for natural dyeing, curating unique experiences merging healing, color resonance and art.
What's Included
To reserve your space at the Indigo Vat, please pick a time slot. Indigo is a gentle, loving breathing dye vat so we can only accommodate 15 people per hour. We want everyone to have a turn, so please be mindful. Earthenware from Gleanings is available for sale. The last hour will be reserved for winding down and finishing up any last items. It's okay for your time slot to lap into others - this will just help us stagger everyone at the vat. You're welcome to hang out all day.
Your ticket allows one item to dye. If you would like to dye more than one item, please purchase more than one ticket.
What to Bring
Items you can dye: T-Shirts, Small Napkins or linens, tank tops, lightweight slips ( silk or natural fibers only ), bandanas, cotton hats.
