Dive into our exhibition Moth to Cloth: Silk from Africa and create a vivid textile with the distinctive blue color of indigo dye and a traditional resist technique known as tie and dye. Popular in sub-Saharan Africa, this method of dyeing uses a variety of treatments to produce intricately patterned fabrics for garments or home décor.
We are offering three time blocks for this program:
1:00–1:45 p.m.
2:00–2:45 p.m.
3:00–3:45 p.m.
Select a time block and reserve a table according to how many people are in your party. Each table can accommodate up to four people. Any party in excess of four will need to reserve more than one table. Only one person should register for your entire party.
$5 per person
