Our Colours

We only use natural dyes made from flowers, leaves, nuts, berries, barks and roots that we find around us. We learnt how to make them ourselves without any training. Long ago there were indigo plantations around us but they do not exist anymore, so we buy indigo from other places now. As we grow, we plan to start cultivating indigo, as well as the other natural dye sources, which will help many of our community members to make a worthy living.

 

Our Style

All we know is what evolved within us organically. What we do is inspired by Bodil Bitze Faber, our Danish mentor, who guided us to think and create, to develop our own distinct style. We use traditional skills but contemporary forms. We blend blocks, embroidery and painting in surprisingly imaginative ways.
