Common Threads: Dye it Yourself

In this workshop, educators, caretakers, and creative community members will explore the art and science of working with natural dyes while connecting with one another in a hands-on, creativity-sparking, restorative environment.

During our time together, participants will use flowers and plants to create vibrant, eco-printed bandanas that can be worn, gifted, or reused as sustainable gift wrap.

Along the way, we’ll gain an embodied understanding of the chemistry behind natural color and share ideas for how to bring this joyful process into classrooms, home projects, and community gatherings.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn the basics of natural dyeing and eco-printing with plants
• Create two colorful, reusable bandanas using simple materials
• Discover easy ways to explore color chemistry with youth or at home
• Connect and build community through shared creativity

Refreshments, food, and all materials are provided.

*Workshop open to all 21 and over
