About this event

  • 2 hours

In collaboration with Brattleboro Food Coop, BMAC Manager of Education Programs Kate Milliken leads two introductory workshops on natural dyeing techniques.

  • MORNING SESSION: Suitable for all ages (children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult -- for those orders, pay one admission fee).
  • AFTERNOON SESSION: Suitable for ages 16 and up.

Participants in both sessions will learn how to put their compost to work by creating richly hued dyes from onion skins, avocado peels, black beans, spinach, and other natural materials. The afternoon session will also include indigo. Bring your own natural-fiber garments to dye, or purchase a scarf, pennant, or bandana from BMAC.


  • Space is limited. Advance registration required.
  • The workshops will take place outdoors, under a tent, in the BMAC sculpture garden. Rain date: Sunday, June 9.
