Colors to Dye For, EcoRangers Summer Camp

July 27—31 ▪ 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Grades 6, 7, 8  
In partnership with Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center

Come discover the wonders of the plants around us and the colors they give artists. During this camp, we will explore the Elements of Art and create weavings from natural dyes and plant materials. Students will learn to spin their own yarn and make their own dyes for their weaving project. We will learn about plant life, experiment with dyes, and gather natural materials at Shangri La. At the Stark Museum of Art we will take inspiration from the Southwestern weaving collection, look at Native American traditions, and tour the works of naturalist-artists. Free; space is limited.
