Recent reviews of Petal Prints Natural Dyeing Workshop
- 5/5 from Franny Civitano, attended Jun 2026: Samita was a wonderful instructor who taught us not only the process of how to dye naturally ourselves but also the ‘why’ behind what works (and doesn’t). She provided all the materials needed for a fun, educational experience. My mom and I had a great time and we would highly recommend anyone looking for a fun, creative and unique experience to book a private class or group workshop with her!
- 5/5 from Aegina Barnes, attended Dec 2024: Samhita could not have been more lovely! She was knowledgeable, organized, incredibly well prepared, and extremely sweet and interesting! She communicated with me before the class and brought excellent follow-up materials. The dyeing itself was so much fun, and my mom and I are thrilled with how our fabrics turned out. I will be recommending Samhita's workshop to others!
Your teacher
Hello! My name is Samhita, and I am a Brooklyn-based visual artist specialising in natural dye workshops rooted in seasonality, experimentation, and community. Growing up in South India surrounded by flowers, I developed a strong connection to nature and color. Inspired by my parents’ love for gardening and sustainability, I began exploring natural dyes during the pandemic by foraging fallen blooms and leaves, and working with leftover kitchen ingredients. Through a lot (!) of experimentation, I became captivated by the beauty and impermanence of natural dyes and the process of creating color from materials around me. My workshops focus on the bundle dye technique, using seasonal flowers, herbs, spices, and dye extracts to craft unique textile pieces through steaming. Designed to be playful and hands-on, this workshop encourages participants to slow down, explore natural color, and trust the process. Since 2023, I have collaborated with brands, home goods boutiques, and peer-led community spaces across New York to host workshops for various audiences.
