Community Dye Bath – Add Some Color to Your Life!
October 29, 2022
11:00 am - 2:00 pm
$5.00
Join Art From Scrap for a Community Dye Bath on October 29th, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm outside in the Art From Scrap parking lot.
Do you have a white shirt that needs some color? A t-shirt with some stains? Want to bring new life to an old tea towel? These items and more are welcome. The cost is $5 per item.
This is a drop in event open to all ages. Stop by between the hours of 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Please pay for your items when you arrive.
We’ll have a vat of plant-derived Indigo dye for natural fabrics like cottons, linens, silks, and wool. For other fabrics, like polyester, there will be vats of synthetic dyes.
Materials will be available for creating Shibori patterns before dipping your materials in the color of your choice.
Bring new life to old items at this hands on activity at Art From Scrap. Creative reuse helps the environment, saves you money, and is so much fun!

Lu’s love of all things Earth began at James Madison University in Virginia, where they got their Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Lu has a Master’s degree in Spatial Ecology- the study of how creatures interact across landscapes- from East Carolina University, where they studied rock pools along a river and the critters that dwell in them. Lu is thrilled to be teaching budding scientists about the Earth and why it’s important for us to protect and preserve the environment.
