Recent reviews of Bandhani Natural Dye Workshop
- 5/5 from Barbara Addleman, attended Nov 2026: a really fun class! i learned so much about foraging for local plants to use as dyes for my art projects. Pallavi was so knowledgeable and taught us so many technique for dying fabrics. and it was a beautiful setting in the park!
- 5/5 from Peer Sangngern, attended Sep 2026: Pallavi was great and on time. They explained to significance of what and how we were doing the dyeing process. It was also really cool using plants and as natural dyes. She has few needs to start the process and was very communicative the entire time. Highly recommended and very fun. Just a tip, make sure your knots, clips and bands are VERY tight!

Growing up as a queer first-gen South Asian American in the Chicagoland area, art was how I expressed myself and how I connected to my culture. During the pandemic, I started to investigate what was most important to me and really started to explore South Asian craft and all of its influences in the Western art/fashion world. This eventually led to me quitting my tech job, and from there I traveled to India and partnered with craft organizations to learn more about ancestral art forms. During this trip, I gained a true appreciation for the skill and labor required for traditional crafts. This trip inspired me to dive into the world of natural dye, and share my knowledge of South Asian craft and history. Whether you're attending my in person workshops, buying one of my craft kits, or leading your own craft party... my guided experiences will leave you learning about another culture, exploring your personal connection to craft, and uncovering how interconnected the craft world really is.
