As the chill of November settles over Vermont, the Vermont Historical Society warmly invites you to join us for an educational and engaging hands-on afternoon with Justin Squizzero from the Burroughs Garret in Newbury, Vermont. Justin creates handspun, naturally-dyed, hand-woven textiles using methods and equipment from the 18th and 19th century. In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of natural dyeing using plants, minerals, and insects. Participants will take home samples of dyed textiles.
This workshop will be hosted in the Snelling Room at the Vermont History Museum at 109 State Street, Montpelier, VT. This event runs from 1:00 PM -3:00 PM.
Light refreshments and discussion will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m.
