INTRODUCTION
Samhita produces and teaches natural dye workshops as an extension of her practice.
Her workshops, open to all ages, are intimate 2.5-hour group sessions where participants use seasonal flowers, herbs, spices, extracts, and plant materials to explore the bundle dye technique, which involves steaming natural materials onto treated fabric to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Each session introduces natural dyeing as a creative and enriching way to celebrate the beauty of the seasons. These workshops emphasize sustainable and circular techniques, transforming natural materials into uniquely dyed pieces.
She has collaborated with peer-led community spaces, brands, and home goods boutiques in New York and Bangalore including:
Ace Hotel New York, The North Face, Index Space, Hike Clerb, Flower Shop Collective, Common Things, Grand Street Healing Project, Beruru and Ohana Fine Flowers.
