The Swope's December STEAM workshop will be a natural dyeing workshop and demonstration at The White Violet Center for Eco-Justice. Participants will learn the basics of natural dyes using immersion baths and a variety of natural materials, some of which were grown and gathered at White Violet Center for Eco-Justice. Participants will be able to take sample fabric swatches home with them.
