Textile Experiences for All Ages
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.
Come explore the colors and textures of nature in these hands-on textile workshops. We’ll work with natural fibers and dyes, making space for curiosity, creativity, and the quiet joy of creating with our hands.
Who Am I?
My last name, Haspel, means “spool” in German, and textiles have been part of my story from the beginning. I spent time as a child in my grandfather’s clothing factory, watching and learning alongside him. My path into natural dyes started in high school with onion skins for costume dyeing. Eager to try more, I gathered wildflowers only to discover a patch of fire ants the hard way.
That sense of curiosity has stayed with me. I find joy in gathering color, working with textiles, and creating hands-on experiences where others can explore and learn.
Who am I? The granddaughter who learned to sew when her grandfather handed her a needle with a wink.
