Join us for an Indigo Dye Bath on Saturday, December 17th, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm outside in the Art From Scrap parking lot. Bring new life to old items- do you have a white shirt that needs some color? Want to bring new life to an old tea towel? These materials and more are welcome. The cost is $5 per item.
This is a drop in event open to all ages- you don’t have to sign up in advance. Stop by between the hours of 11:00 am to 1:00 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.
Materials will be available for creating Shibori patterns before dipping your materials in the color of your choice.

Stephanie began her journey as an educator over twenty years ago working as a preschool teacher in Washington state for a cooperative preschool program affiliated with Whatcom Community College. She loved observing the wonder and curiosity of the children and bringing them out into nature to explore the natural world. She continued her love for learning and got her teaching license and then her Montessori certification and worked as an elementary teacher in Tribal, Public, and Montessori schools. She collaborated to create a school garden and her students loved it so much that it became a special place where they could garden, read, explore, play, and it provided a safe sanctuary for students to calm down and reset when they were having difficult moments.
Morgan’s mermaid soul is always seeking adventure—swimming a relay across the Santa Barbara Channel and taking the first photo of a newborn orca off Anacapa Island being standout experiences close to home.
