Bring your friends and family and celebrate the many voices of our communities by dyeing and sewing Sky Sail sculpture fabric with us.
We invite you to learn about the indigo dyeing process, dye a linen, bandana-sized fabric square for our project, and bring your own small cotton or linen piece to dye in our indigo vats.
