Recent reviews of Botanical Dyeing and Embroidery Workshop
- 5/5 from Shirley Pimentel, attended Sep 2026: Robin was amazing!!! I brought my daughter and Robin was patient, kind and explained everything so well! We truly had a magical and special time and I am sure this will be a core memory for us!
- 5/5 from Yuliya Kirov, attended Aug 2026: Robin was incredible and very knowledgable. We were a group of seven, and we all had a blast! We learned how to dye scarves with all natural ingredients and flowers. Our favorite part was smashing the flowers into the fabric.
- 5/5 from Karen Finnelle, attended Oct 2025: Robin is a delight and so knowledgeable about her craft. Can’t say enough wonderful things about her. I had fun, learned new techniques, and refined old ones.
- 5/5 from Chaya Caplan, attended Sep 2025: Our class with Robin was so much fun! The class was so creatively organized. We got to learn about and do so many cool art forms. My 12 year old niece and I had the best time! Definitely would recommend taking this class for an interesting NYC afternoon!
- 5/5 from Louise Joy Mattingly, attended Jun 2025: Robin the instructor was so patient and lovely. We learned so much in the 3 hours. I can’t wait to try my hand at embroidery and floral printing.
- 5/5 from Aegina Barnes, attended Dec 2024: The teacher is delightful, and I love the combination of skills presented here. What a fun workshop!
- 5/5 from Maryann Sutherland, attended Aug 2024: Robin is an amazing teacher! The class space is lovely and comfortable. The provided materials were easy to work with- it was very cool using natural ingredients to create patterns and dyes. I learned several different methods of dying and embroidery. The hands on learning was awesome! Recommend this class for a special and memorable experience. Photo is an example of what the embroidery can look like, completed by Robin.
- 5/5 from Siddharth Paratkar, attended Jul 2024: As someone with relatively little expression of creativity my entire life, this class helped me discover my passion for art and also taught me so much about how to actually create art. It'll be messy, painful, imperfect, but making something with your bare hands has far more value than just the thing you created. It was a joy to meet other folks of the same mindset and learn under Robin.
- 5/5 from Joanna K, attended Jun 2024: Having been to many different crafting classes in NYC now, this one is honestly such a great value - you get to learn so many different ways of dyeing + basic embroidery in three hours, and the process of seeing natural botanical ingredients turning into colors and patterns is so satisfying. Robin is so nice and welcoming and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend it!!

HI, I’M ROBIN, FOUNDER OF THE HOOP.The daughter of a Mexican mother and American father, I grew up in the Bronx New York. After a successful 38-year career in the fashion business, I found myself at a crossroads. I certainly wasn’t ready to retire and so I took baby steps in exploring my next adventure.I traveled back to my childhood spent in Mexico City, stitching alongside my grandmother, mother, aunts and cousins. There we were, all together - the adults discussing the day, their lives, and the gossip. My cousins and I listened and took notes; not only fastidiously learning stitching, but life lessons, too.This fiber has followed me on each adventure, every joy, and each disappointment and triumph … it is the one constant in my life.Helping me sail through rough waters, my hoop has always been there. When the world outside is turbulent, my peace can be found inside the hoop. With each stitch, my troubles fade away, and I focus on the magic of creating something that didn’t exist before.In founding The Hoop, I hope to bring together a circle of curious creators who want to explore fiber craft forms and techniques together.
