Annual Dye Day in the Park!

This year we are meeting on August 10th at our usual spot, Area #2 at Tucker’s Grove Park where Turnpike meets Cathedral Oaks. 10 am til 3 pm. Bring your own lunch, snacks and drinks (we had too many wasps last year when we left out platters of snacks so we’re skipping that.)

We will have several volunteers manning pots of natural dyes including indigo, mushroom and cochineal and oxalis (remember to bring your frozen flowers from the spring bloom!). We will also have a mordant (alum) for those that need it. Bring gloves as well as a few small pieces of natural fiber fabrics or yarn. Nothing bulky as many will be sharing the pots. We will have a FEW silk scarves for sale for $10 if needed. We will also have some shibori tools for patterning. Come try your hand at this fun craft and you may catch the natural dyeing bug too! 1
