Making plant-dyed installations and bespoke wearable pieces meant to resonate a little more magic and joy into the world.

Hi! I’m Sulai

I explore pigment from the natural world through art and design. I love sharing my research and experience in community building workshops and am grateful for the life long journey learning from plants and the past, present and future artisans finding delight in simmering cauldrons of plant matter.

WORKSHOPS

I teach natural dyeing and lead community indigo projects for museums, universities, schools, art centers, and community groups. People leave with dyed cloth in their hands and a new way of seeing where color comes from.
