Workshops Begin
As part of Tinctorium Studio's mission to revive natural dye practices and increase everyday interactions with local flora, I give monthly workshops on different natural dye techniques.
​
Since November 2020 I have hosted 14 different workshops. You can read more about my favorite workshop, Wild Fabrics, in the journal.

A Garden to Dye For
In January 2020 I was invited to take part in an edible garden project with my dye flowers. Through this opportunity, I founded, planted, and maintained a dye garden in a post-industrial area of Lisbon.

+351
In June 2021, I teamed up with Lisbon-based brand +351 to naturally dye a collection of their shirts with Indigo. Social media influencers were invited to dye with us and create a one-off piece to sell. Profits from this collaboration went to a Portuguese ocean conservation non-profit, Oceans Alive.

Everything is Welcome
In July 2021, I spent 3 weeks assisting Italian artist Alex Cecchetti on his exhibition for Casa da Cerca. The mission was to naturally dye 23 4m panels and 6 dervish skirts. Alex provided creative direction while I detailed technical procedures and executed the natural dyeing.

Natural Abstracts on Paper
Armed with a collection of inks and pigments from a year of working professionally with natural dyes, I created this art series on watercolor paper.
​
The series is an exploration of natural colors using only natural pigments and mineral color modifiers.
