Natural Dye Workshop at Community Farm of Ann Arbor
2025-10-03 17:00 - 19:00 | Community Farm of Ann Arbor, 1525 S. Fletcher Rd, Chelsea, 48118, United States
In this workshop, you will learn how to make a dye bath using marigold flowers and a shibori technique. Shibori is a resist technique that might look similar to tie-dye; however, it has been around since the 6th century. Natural dyeing dates back even further to the year 2600 BC. Using what you’ve learned, you will create a beautiful pattern on a 100% cotton bandana and then place it into a dye bath made from marigolds that will produce a gorgeous golden yellow. If we have time at the end, there will be an option of altering the yellow dye to an olive green using ferrous sulfate. There will also be plenty of time for questions and answers, and to walk the magical grounds of the farm and maybe learn a little about CSA. Registration is required for this event; register HERE.

Learn how to manage conflicting political views within families and between friends by attending The Braver Angels Alliance of Washtenaw County Family and Politics Workshop. This event will take place in person at Sharon Township Hall on October 12, 2025 from 1-4 pm.
Braver Angels is the largest grass roots, cross partisan organization in the country working to decrease fear and hate between ordinary people with differing political opinions. The goal is to disagree strongly while listening to other viewpoints with respect and curiosity, not to change anyone’s mind. We are trying to understand the experiences, information sources, and values that underlie the other person’s position. Braver Angels believes that disagreement is essential in a democracy and that demeaning and demonizing those who vote differently from us undermines civic life and leads to worse outcomes for society.
