Each person will leave with their own piece of waxed and dyed cloth, along with simple instructions for finishing it at home. This workshop is for adults, age 18 and up. It's limited to 6 participants and costs $5. Participants will be working with hot wax and should plan to wear clothing that they are okay to get dye on. Register here
