With a passion for nature, exploration and teaching, Jamie creates natural dye education and community spaces that welcome all.

Jamie’s courses and workshops are guided by her philosophy: learning is a life long journey, we were all beginners at one point and no question is too silly to ask.

Her experience teaching natural dye techniques began in a free community setting, with the belief that art should be accessible to all. Accessibility continues to be a core principle in her natural dye practice. Scholarships are available for her online and in-person courses/workshops and she utilizes her blog and Instagram to share free natural dye education.

Growing up in a tiny trailer home in the Texas countryside, Jamie found refuge by escaping outdoors and exploring the surrounding woods and her mom’s flower and vegetable gardens. With a father who was an environmental scientist and botanist and a mother with a enthusiasm for organic gardening, plants and sustainability always played a formidable role in her life. Her fascination with plant color began during those early childhood years. That fascination has led to years of experience studying natural dyeing, tending her own organic dye gardens and foraging local plants.

Jamie now resides in beautiful Austin, Texas with her son, husband and two cats.
