Stories will begin at sunset, around 7:30pm. Come early for a self-guided farm tour and to say “hello” to the resident sheep, goats and chickens! Feel free to bring a story of your own or an instrument to share in some music-making after our “story hour.” In case of inclement weather, we will move to a sheltered space.

We will explore shibori and other techniques, sharing knowledge, camaraderie and fun! Pre-mordanting fabric before the Meet-Up is optional but will produce more vivid results. No experience necessary. Accompanied older children interested in learning are welcome to participate. Dress in layers - we will be working in an unheated outdoor kitchen. Other recommended materials to bring:


    bags or bucket for transporting wet goods
    rubber gloves (knit gloves underneath provide extra warmth and heat protection)

    a way to mark your goods to tell them apart (in the dye bath)
