Indigo Dyeing with Margaret Seelie Studio: Make something old feel new again in our community dye bath. Artist Margaret Seelie will show you how to make cool designs and dye with the indigo plant. You’ll bring your own small used item to dye like a bandanna, tee, or pillowcase. Only cotton, linen, silk, or wool are compatible with natural dyeing—no synthetics, like polyester. One item per person so everyone can dye. After you dye your item, you will rinse it at home using the instructions on seeliestudio.com.
Button Making: Make your own wearable button using one of our Summer Stride designs by our featured artist Sendy Santamaria, or create your own design.
