How can you gently hold onto the grasses, fields and flowers of autumn? How can you keep the warm colors of fall in your home throughout the winter?
Join us for this two session event:

- Learn to make natural dyes as you coax the colors from your leaves, flowers, bark and roots with historical home arts interpreter, Feliecia Brooks
- Dye wool and press botanical specimens for the next session
Friday, October 11
6-8 pm
- Come back to combine your naturally dyed wool and pressed plants to create a unique framed artwork while enjoying refreshments and friendship
