My name is Ania and I'm the person behind Kaliko—a natural-dye studio based in Berlin.
In November 2017 I decided to quit my day job as an architect and pursue my own business. I am a self-taught weaver and natural dyer, with a special love for sustainable and minimalistic living.    

How this publication works

Kaliko Journal is where I share my natural-dyeing knowledge (Plant Dyeing section), and talk about running a business while honoring my creativity (Studio Practice section). You can manage your subscription by opting IN and OUT of the sections that interest you.

Why Subscribe

When you subscribe, every new post will go directly to your inbox. You can also install a Substack App and read your subscribed authors' articles there—this is how I like to access my favorite publications. Hit the “reply” button in your inbox or leave me a comment under my post to connect. I’d love to hear from you!

Why I’m on Substack

In the fast-paced world, sharing long written forms suddenly became radical?! Substack is home for online publications by creative people who don’t care about competing for your attention with flashy images that mush your brain—or at least they mush mine. Instead, I want to share high-quality articles to be slowly digested and appreciated.

I'm glad you decided to join me on this journey. It means a lot to have you on board. Thank you!
