Join artist Erin Berkowitz of Berbo Studio for a natural dye class working with a palette of fall colors from local plants.

Learn how to create resist-dye patterns with golds and olive greens from pomegranate skins, and rich browns and slate grays from oak galls and black walnuts.

Recommended for ages 3 and up. Fee includes one child plus one accompanying adult and all materials.
