Meet Alice
Dyer
Meet Alice, a spirited artisan whose journey into the world of textiles began with a single sewing class during her university days in 2015.
From there, Alice was hooked and began working in a small sewing studio in Toronto. This environment allowed her to grow and learn more about different textile techniques, and natural dyes and quilting became her passion.
Getting her own studio space was a huge turning point for Alice. Nestled in the vibrant city of Toronto, it is where Alice works with the art of quilting and natural dyes.
But it is not just about creating beautiful pieces; it is also about the moments of quiet reflection, the joy of learning new techniques and building a small community where people can come together, share and make things with their hands.
Driven by a desire to share her passion for textiles and the natural world, Alice organises workshops that are immersive experiences. Through hands-on exploration and playful experimentation, she empowers others to rediscover the joy of making.
For Alice, crafting is more than a pastime; it's a gateway to connection - with nature, with people and with yourself!
