Recap of Indigo Dyeing Workshop

Daisy McClellanComment

We had so much fun at our Indigo Dyeing Workshop with Erin of Feed the Fish Co. She made a technique that seemed super complicated fun and easy to do. The great thing about this class is you can't mess up! Literally everyone's pieces turned out so beautiful and unique. Each student made 4 unique tea towels and some even brought their own clothing items like socks and tops to dye. Missed out on the fun?

Kombucha Brewing Workshop Recap

Daisy McClellanComment

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our Kombucha Brewing Workshop this past Wednesday night! Elizabeth from Preserved was the most amazing instructor, with so much knowledge to share. The class learned about the history and nutritive value of Kombucha and then were able to sample various flavors. At the end of the class everyone got to mix their own to finish fermenting at home. Participants also went home with their very own scoby to start a fresh batch to brew - how cool is that? Missed out on the fun? Be sure to check out the rest of our Fall/Winter workshop and sign up for a night of fun!
