This week - We are bringing to you an immersive workshop on natural dyes and silk from the northeast, led by artisans from Majuli Island, Assam. Join us for this unique experience to learn from expert artisans using traditional processes, techniques and materials like soft, warm eri silk that is native to India. Take home a naturally dyed cotton bandana of your own. This workshop is in collaboration with @kironfoundation that supports and sustains local silk farming, spinning, dyeing and weaving traditions on Majuli Island in Assam. #kironfoundation #majuliisland #naturaldyes
