Dyeing with Cochineal

Join us as we dye more items for our outdoor exhibit and museum store!

On Saturday, October 11th, we will be exploring the process of dyeing with cochineal: a bug native to southwest and Mexican desert regions. Watch how this dye transforms fabrics into beautiful shades of red! You can even buy items dyed in past programs in our museums store!

The program starts at 10am and runs until 3pm. Dyed items will remain on display until 4pm. We hope to see you there!
