The Alchemy of Dyeing is a sensory workshop and research platform conceived by fashion designer Mehru Khan and artist Nahla Tabbaa that dives into the alchemy of colour making, urban foraging, textile dyeing, chromophobia, taste making and other complexities around organic dyeing and today's urban life.
Combining methods of the Old World and adapting it to the site specific context of today’s fast-paced urban world, the workshops, workbook and research encourages the idea of working at a slower pace, connecting with materials, nature and colour, specific to your context, neighborhood and region.
Although based out of the UAE, the mission of The Alchemy of Dyeing is to gather and unpack colour making across The Middle East and South Asia- reclaiming, de-colonising, embracing the native and yet celebrating relationships of trade and exchange.
