Color Your World: Colonial Dyes

June is full of color at the Burnside Plantation! To celebrate the opening of the Colors Exhibition at Burnside on June 8th, we are getting hands-on with natural dyes. Come learn about how dyes were made in the colonial period and the importance of color within the Moravian community. You'll make your very own colored ribbon to take home by experimenting with dyes made from different fruits and vegetables.
