Storyline

Hello, and welcome! I’m Aida, the maker behind The Athenian Maker.

My journey into the world of botanical dyeing began in Athens in 2018, when I had the opportunity of studying Natural Dyeing at SEN. It was there that I first discovered the timeless beauty of plant-based colors. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to exploring the art of dyeing and eco-printing, using nature’s vibrant palette to create beautiful, sustainable yarns and accessories.

At The Athenian Maker, every item is handmade with care and respect for both nature and craftsmanship. I work with sustainable, animal-friendly materials such as recycled wool and plant-based yarns, ensuring that each piece reflects my commitment to the environment. I believe in the power of slow, intentional making—where each item tells a unique story through the colors and patterns that only nature can provide.

Thank you for supporting this journey of creativity, sustainability, and mindful craft. I’m thrilled to share my work with you.
