Botanical Tie Dye with Artist Devan Horton
Learn the basics of foraging your own colors using regional plants available in your own backyard! We will learn about some of Devan’s favorite plants to use as well as a few simple tie dye techniques that enable us all to create art that’s accessible, sustainable, and good for you, your neighbors, and the bees. Students will create their own tea towel using these methods as well as learn how to recreate these techniques at home.
