Yrsa is sad she can't go to Athenaeum so is breaking out the dye pots to experiment, dye some yarn, dye some rawhide for rattles and drums, and dye whatever else gets too close to the pots! There will be natural dyes and modern (RIT) dye on the go. For Natural Dye we have confirmed Weld, Indigo, Logwood, Cochineal, Safflower, Madder, and maybe a couple others.
We can also do some eco-dying if you want to learn how to do that - you gather plant matter (leaves and flowers) and bundle them between the layers of fabric and steam them to release the color. You get this crazy imprinted design.
Anyone can come play - just bring things to dye. You can do tie dye, period dyeing, dye yarn, dye fabric, or just come and watch the chaos as it ensues! Natural fibers work best for the natural dyes. If you have something that you stained but still love it - just dye it! Bored of the color of your clothes - lets dye it! Tired of your hands being pale - don't wear gloves!
There will be some kind of food prepared for eating. Have not decided what yet - but it will be tasty!
We will probably go until 5ish or until we are too multi colored to continue.
