Hi I’m Carin

Hi, I’m Carin—Master Dyer, Mama, and artist behind Dye on the Side.

With 25+ years of experience, I teach dye workshops focused on creativity, connection, and sustainability. After leaving a toxic fashion industry job, I reconnected with nature, sparking my passion for natural dyeing.

Motherhood during the pandemic brought its own challenges, but dyeing became my sanctuary, bringing peace and clarity. Now, I’m committed to sharing this healing journey with others through nature and hands-on creative restoration.

Whether you're gathering your team, celebrating a life milestone, or simply craving a deeper connection to beauty and nature- these immersive dye experiences offer more than just color.

Designed to ignite collaboration, wonder, and well-being, my workshops meet you where you are — from boardrooms to backyards — and leave you more grounded, inspired, and connected than before.
