We’re part of the picture at the reimagined Newcastle Art Gallery!

You can now take home Studio Tinta silk pillowcases, hand-dyed with natural and/or fibre reactive dyes, from the Newcastle Art Gallery shop.

This is our ONLY stockist, and these much loved pillowcases aren’t even available in our online store.

Each is one-of-a-kind, so you’ll have to visit to see the unique colours and patterns.

We’re proud to be among the first makers featured in the shop, and we can’t wait to share our creativity and craftsmanship with you.

🎉 Celebrate with us at the official shop opening on Saturday 4 October, 2pm - 4pm

🎟️ Book your tickets via the Newcastle Art Gallery website newcastleartgallery.nsw.gov.au

✨This is just the beginning. Newcastle Art Gallery will be open Friday to Sunday, 10am – 4pm as they prepare for their full reopening in February 2026.

Don’t miss this one!! Too much fun was had, so it has to be done again.

Thanks to my workshop student Shani for snapping some pics yesterday! I’m always too busy running around and chatting!

This workshop was extra special because we paired it with delicious food and wine 🍷, and the vibe with the wood fire and good tunes was 🤌🏼

We had an absolute ball chatting and making some beautiful textiles with natural dyes. Everyone brought such an enthusiasm and it made me want to teach more!

If you are in Newcastle, would you like to come to my next workshop at The Pav in Carrington? Tell me which month is best for you in the poll below.

Just had to share this stunning shirt made by using my hand-dyed silks.

For these colours I used logwood, eucalyptus leaves, weld and rose petals with an iron mordant (these can all be found in our Bundle-Dye Kit)

This gorgeous pattern is from .patterns 🔥

“But I’ve tried dyeing and it didn’t work for me.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear this all the time from aspiring natural dyers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They have this vision of what they want to create… so they throw some random plants in a pot and add an old t-shirt expecting something magical to happen but…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It looks like sh*t, quite frankly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, they give up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the thing―
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Natural dyeing is an art and a science.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like cooking, you need to understand your ingredients. And when you do, you can make a masterpiece.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I won’t promise you won’t ever get disappointing results ― even with the help of Natural Dye School.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what I *can* promise is that you’ll do it less often.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because inside Natural Dye School, you’ll have all the right information to greatly *reduce* your chances of making these common mistakes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you *do* pull out a blotchy piece of fabric, you’ll also have all of my troubleshooting strategies to rescue it so it doesn’t go to waste.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And each resource is designed to get you dyeing as quickly as possible so you can start practising!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more your practice, the more consistent your results will be, and the more confidence you’ll have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This all starts with overcoming your perfectionism and just getting started..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you’re ready to learn how to natural dye your fabrics today, meet me at the link in bio ❤️
