Natural dyes in the textile sector take approximately only 1% due to certain technical and sustainability aspects involved in production and application.
China now accounts for 40–45% of world consumption of synthetic dyes. “During the dyeing process, an average t-shirt will use 16-20 litres of water. 80% of the dye is retained by the fabric and the rest is flushed out. The global textile industry discharges 40,000 – 50,000 tons of dye into the water system and Europe discharges 200,000 tons of salt”. - Cambridge University, Well Dressed report.
Fashion is our social skin, it manifests our market trends as well as our beliefs. Raise awareness with your actions.
Maker: Arina Senior (née Terekhova) – architect, artist.
Made Christchurch her home in 2002. She currently works on the Christchurch re-build and involved with heritage buildings.
Arina has a degree in architecture from Siberia, Russia. Her work experience includes architectural studio, graphic design and theatre decor.

Arina grew up with two grandmothers who taught her most of the arts and crafts she knows today. Living in a remote land fostered her respect for natural resources.
Recycling, conservation, sustainability. Te Reo sums it in the word - Kaitiakitanga. Everything we do in life has to be done sustainably, casting thoughts to the future.
What we will do: We will go for a mindful walk into the forest and out on the beach to collect our dye ingredients. Make your own eco printed scarf with seaweed, a permanent wearable impression of your sea forest walk.
What we will learn: how to keep seaweed lace imprint, extract organic colours from fallen leaves and enjoy the permanent impressions on natural fibre.
What to bring: Lunch, snack. Everything else provided for one scarf.
Meet at the Holiday Park's Cafe.
