In medieval times, individuals became dyers through apprenticeship, typically starting as young apprentices under the guidance of experienced artisans. They learned the trade by mastering dyeing techniques, sourcing natural dyes from plants, minerals, and insects, and understanding the chemistry of color. Over time, they would gain skills and experience, eventually becoming journeymen and, later, masters in the craft, often joining guilds that regulated the trade. This structured approach ensured the transmission of knowledge and standards within the profession.
