Hi! I’m Carin, Master Dyer & Founder of Dye on the Side
After years in corporate fashion and becoming a mom during the pandemic, I felt burnt out and disconnected from my creativity. Seeing the industry's toxic dyeing practices, I turned to natural dyeing as a way to heal and resist harmful systems. Now, I share this passion through hands-on workshops for events, celebrations, and team-building, bringing creativity, connection, and sustainability to every experience.
