Step into the world of natural dyes and experience the art of Indonesia's traditional indigo practice. Led by our skilled team at the Threads of Life Dye Studio, each session invites you to learn about the dye plants, understand their cultural significance, and create your own indigo-dyed textile using various resist techniques.
We work directly with over 1,200 women in more than 35 groups on 12 Indonesian islands from Kalimantan to Timor.
We empower women’s enterprises and put money directly into women’s hands where it best ensures their households’ welfares.
Our cultural and technical support moves weavers to great pride of ownership, inspiring the extraordinary quality of their work.
Dye plant use perpetuates a sustainable relationship with the land, and helps a community prioritize conservation.
