FREE | Delicious Dye Day at the Vizcaya Village

Delicious Dye Days: Refresh Your White Tees 🍃🎨

Join us for a hands-on, all-ages delicious dye station where we transform plain white cotton t-shirts into beautiful blush and salmon pink pieces—using avocado pits and peels!

Got a stained or boring white tee? Bring it and give it a fresh new life with this simple, non-toxic dye technique. You’ll learn how everyday kitchen “waste” can create stunning, wearable color while exploring the basics of plant-based fabrics and natural dyes. And check out the Healthy Fabric Library to learn about plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable fiber, fabric, and dye options.

Drop in anytime during the session—no experience needed. Dye your tee, let it dry while you enjoy the farmers market, and pick it up before you go!

What to bring: 1–2 white or off-white cotton t-shirts ready for a fresh glow-up.

No shirt? No problem—grab a Healthy Fabric Library recipe and try it at home!

LOCATION | This activity takes place exclusively at Vizcaya Village, the estate’s historic farm village, and does not include access to the east side of the property where the Main House and gardens are located.

VIZCAYA FAMILY PROGRAMS | This series is designed to create opportunities for intergenerational interactions among families with young children (ages 6-12). As such, orders that do not include a child ticket may be canceled.

To promote inclusion for all, Vizcaya ensures that all community programs, after-hour and weekend events for locals, feature activities that are physically accessible to all visitors. While not all areas of the estate are wheelchair accessible, community programs are purposefully located in areas without stairs or that can be accessed via a ramp.
