Color surrounds us everywhere. Natural dyes can be found as close as the kitchen—in the form of food —in a garden, or even in your local supermarket. Rebecca Rigg uses them to create sustainable homewares and accessories via her brand Marram, which she started in collaboration with her mother. Their work has been featured by Home Magazine, Food 52, The Zoe Report, Etsy, and more.

In this online course, Rebecca teaches you how to create a patchwork wall hanging from scratch, with natural textile dyeing. Explore a variety of materials and techniques for naturally-dyeing textiles, and learn how to reuse old linens. Upcycle, recycle, and create ethical yet stylish contemporary homewares!
