Colors to Dye For!

Kids & Families  

 

Plant dyes have been used since 3,000 B.C.E., and ancient writings describe over 1,000 sources of natural dyes.  Although today most dyes are created artificially, making natural plant dyes can be as simple as gathering plants from your own garden.  Join us as we gather plants for our own dyes and do a bit of groovy tie-dying! 

10am-12noon

Family Fee: $15 per family for members; $20 per family for non-members.
