Calyx Studios is a multidisciplinary natural dye house working in collaboration with the natural world. Led by Cara Marie Piazza, an artist and natural dyer with over a decade of experience, the studio weaves color as a form of contemplation—using botanicals, plant matter, minerals, non‑toxic metals, and food waste to translate inner landscapes into cloth. At Calyx, industry meets alchemy, and creative play becomes a pathway towards healing, reflection, and reconnection with the living world.

We create our conscious colors by only using natural dyestuffs such as botanicals, plant matter, minerals, non-toxic metals and food waste, transforming each project into its own unique story. At Calyx, industry meets alchemy. 

By sharing this knowledge our studio believes we can help empower and heal with creative play. We offer workshops and immersive experiences on the public and corporate scale for natural dyeing, curating unique experiences merging healing, color resonance and art.
