Red & Blue Natural Dyeing

In this drop-in style program, we will discuss how enslaved people used the natural world around them to dye their clothes as a form of self-expression. Red and blue are centered around independence and freedom from Britain, but what did that mean for the enslaved?

Guests will dye a square of fabric to take home with them.
