About Kristin Arzt

Kristin Arzt is a natural dyer, educator, and designer based in Frederick, Maryland, working at the intersection of plant, pigment, and cloth. With over a decade of teaching and a background in both traditional craft and modern surface design, her work explores the full spectrum of natural color—from soil to finished textile. Rooted in the practice of growing and foraging dye plants, Kristin specializes in indigo and earth-based processes, with a particular focus on clay resist and layered surface design. Her approach combines technical precision with a deep respect for material—bringing together historical techniques and contemporary application. Each product is developed through hands-on studio practice and years of teaching, designed to be both functional and accessible. From dye kits to tools and materials, the collection supports a slower, more intentional way of making—inviting customers into the process of creating color from the natural world. Kristin’s work has been shaped by collaborations with leading textile and craft organizations and is informed by her experience teaching across the country. At its core, the studio is about connection: to land, to process, and to the quiet transformation that happens through making.Read their story
