Seelie Studio is a natural dye company and education innovator. We use sea urchin dye as an educational tool for telling the stories of dying kelp forests around the world.

Goals:

  • Inspire the next generation of climate innovators with our K-12 Urchin Dye Curriculum©.

  • Create something beautiful from climate chaos in our Urchin Dye Workshops©.

  • Share Urchin Dye with everyone with our Dye Kits©.

Our Process

Fund Kelp Restoration

Every cent we pay for our urchins goes directly into funding kelp restoration projects and divers. 

Process Humanely

We humanely remove the urchin spines, clean and dry them, and then grind them into our main ingredient. 

Steeped In Hope

From the divers, who spend hours beneath the waves, to the humane processing of the urchins, our work is steeped in hope. And ceremony.

Educate and Inspire

We use urchin dye as an educational tool for sharing the stories of kelp forest deforestation and to inspire innovation.

  • "You’ve honestly pioneered something big – one of the most incredible natural dye initiatives I’ve ever seen. Thank you for your work."

    – Liz Spencer, The Dogwood Dyer
