Artist profile

Suspended in Sunbeam

Suspended in Sunbeam is a natural dye studio based in Derbyshire.

We host workshops across the UK, teaching people the beauty of natural colour and how we can bring it to life on cloth.

Weaving together this ancient craft with our deep need for community in playful, beginner-friendly workshops.

Back in our natural dye studio we hand-dye dreamily soft accessories & homeware, which nurture your body & skin.

 

From flower farms to festival fields and museums to moon-lit woods, we are spreading the joy of natural colour as far and wide as possible.

The focus is on feeling good through connection to nature and each other. And quite often, you’ll leave with something pretty.
