Dyed with Dad: Drop-in Indigo Vat—June 7, 2025 (2:30pm–5pm)
Looking for a fun activity for you and dad to celebrate Father’s Day?
Bring a faded or well-loved button down or t-shirt and dive into the basics of indigo dyeing! This is a perfect way to give new life to a stained or yellowed garment—or just add something new and beautiful to your spring/summer wardrobe. No experience is needed and guidance will be provided.
Registration is not required, but you are welcome to pay in advance through this page.
WHAT TO BRING:
Bring your own item to dye. A shirt, a pillowcase, tea towel, tote bag, or set of napkins makes an ideal project. (We are unable to accommodate very large projects, such as duvet covers.) We will also have blank t-shirts available for purchase for $10.
For the best results, select a white garment/item that is made with 100% natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, linen, hemp, or silk. If you choose a natural/synthetic blend, it will result in a paler shade of blue.
