Color surrounds us everywhere. Natural dyes can be found as close as the kitchen—in the form of food —in a garden, or even in your local supermarket. Rebecca Rigg uses them to create sustainable homewares and accessories via her brand Marram, which she started in collaboration with her mother. Their work has been featured by Home Magazine, Food 52, The Zoe Report, Etsy, and more.
In this online course, Rebecca teaches you how to create a patchwork wall hanging from scratch, with natural textile dyeing. Explore a variety of materials and techniques for naturally-dyeing textiles, and learn how to reuse old linens. Upcycle, recycle, and create ethical yet stylish contemporary homewares!

A course by Rebecca Rigg
Rebecca Rigg is a natural dyer based in France. She grew up in a family of artists and was particularly encouraged to pursue her creativity by her mother.
She went on to study art textiles at school and take weekend courses in crafts at an open university while experimenting with sewing, crochet, and more in her spare time.
In 2015, after discovering and falling in love with the indigo dye technique, Rebecca created Marram in collaboration with her mother – a textile brand specializing in mindful, one-of-a-kind homewares and accessories. Together they sell everything from cushions to natural dye kits via their online shop and have had their work featured by Home Magazine, Food 52, The Zoe Report, Etsy, and more.
