Artist: Kristin Arzt

Kristin Arzt (@scramblesquilts) is a natural dyer, educator, gardener and designer based in Oakland, California. She believes that by exploring the collision of textiles, plants and sustainability, she can help make the study of natural dyes accessible to everyone through education and enthusiasm. When not teaching in-person and online courses, Kristin grows her own seasonal dye plants in her home garden for closer experimentation; often sharing seeds and sprouts with students. She is the Textiles Department Head at The Crucible, a non-profit organization dedicated to making arts education accessible to local youth and the surrounding community. Her raffled pieces below will benefit the organization, with all donations being matched—doubling your impact.
