Hi I’m Carin
-Master Dyer and founder of Dye on the Side.
For over 25 years I’ve worked at the intersection of textiles, natural dyes, and creative education, developing print & color techniques for the fashion industry and leading hands-on workshops that reconnect people with creativity.
Today I design immersive botanical dye experiences for teams, events, and communities.
Immersive Botanical Color Experiences
My dye workshops blend art, science, and nature, inviting participants to experiment with plant pigments, kitchen ingredients, and sunlight-powered dye techniques to transform fabric in surprising ways.
Through experiences like Botanical Solar Dyeing and Natural Dye Potion Labs, people reconnect with creativity, nature, and the joy of making something with their hands.
STAY CONNECTED
This is more than a newsletter — it’s a love letter to creative living.
Join my list for exclusive workshop invites, dyeing ideas, and a deeper look into the artful, nature-led world I’m building. Come be part of it.
