She will be demonstrating dyeing in her indigo vat and participants will be able to dye small samples of cotton fabric, and have the opportunity to bring an item from home to dye (note that this material needs to be clean and natural fiber--cotton, linen, wool, etc). Bring an old cotton T-shirt and dye it blue with natural indigo!
