PS LET’S DYE is a textile movement based in London, Ontario founded by Paulina Szczesny. Materials are uniquely hand dyed using traditional, natural methods and indigenous plants from all over Ontario. Natural dyeing allows for the elimination of harmful chemicals in treating materials. As a result of the over-consumption and toxic substances used in the textile industry, it has increased the envi
ronmental and cultural degradation. Within the textile industry, most branded and unbranded garments commonly found in the market use resins to control the shrinkage of material. Almost all commercially used resins contain formaldehyde or other harsh chemicals. PS LET’S DYE targets the use of healthy and sustainable methods, which inspires others to be conscious of the materials and chemicals used to create textiles. PS LET'S DYE is a showcase of finished products to work in progress, educating information about eco textiles, natural dyes, and alternative healing therapies. As a Textile Artist and BioEnergetic Practitioner and Wellness Consultant I wanted to infuse a name that would suit my passions for both art and alternative healing. PS LET'S DYE is not just about dyeing fabric or textiles, it's about playing, living your life to the fullest and healing the parts of ourselves that need healing.
