INTRODUCTION
Samhita produces and teaches natural dye workshops as an extension of her practice.
Her workshops, open to all ages, are intimate 2–2.5-hour sessions where participants use seasonal flowers, herbs, spices, extracts, and plant materials to explore the bundle dye technique, steaming them onto treated fabric to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
Each session introduces natural dyeing as a creative way to celebrate the seasons, emphasizing sustainable and circular practices. She has collaborated with peer-led community spaces, brands, food markets, restaurants, and home goods boutiques in New York and Bangalore, including:
Ace Hotel New York, Smorgasburg, The North Face, Usal Project x Snowpeak, Index Space, Hike Clerb, Harana Market, Flower Shop Collective, Common Things, Grand Street Healing Project, Beruru, Ohana Fine Flowers
