TESTIMONIAL 

“Gianna is a wonderful teacher and storyteller. The botanical bundle dye workshop was so intimate and empowering and a really safe space to express yourself and experiment through the bundle. I am so grateful for the experience and pleased to be able to take home my works of art at the end of the day. I now have my beautiful silk scarf hanging as a piece of art in my home.”

- Courtney, 2022
