shall not harm the earth."


EarthuesTM natural dye colors come from nature: from bugs, berries, bark and roots. The extracts created are non-toxic and because of their concentrated form save time, energy and water to create the most beautiful colors imaginable!

Outstanding!

This was my first experience with the dye process and I just loved every minute!

A great workshop, very organized and the lunches were divine!
