Youth class, ages 712 years old

Spend MEA Break with Textile Center! In this two-day experience, campers (ages 7 – 12 years old) will explore the autumn color palette of natural dyes using recently dried plants from our dye garden — including goldenrod, marigolds, madder, and more. They’ll learn how to prepare and use these botanicals to dye yarn and wool roving, then transform their colorful materials into textiles through felting and knitting techniques! Each camper will take home a felting and knitting kit, along with a personalized stash of hand-dyed wool and yarn to keep creating at home.
