Current Shapes will lead a natural dye make & take activity as well as facilitate a conversation around the historical context of the color red and the dyes we'll be using. From there we will enjoy a dinner led by our friends and duo Got Your Back-Brennan Villareal and Sasha Schoen. Brennan has curated a red inspired menu including four courses and a dessert. Sasha has carefully selected three natural wine pairings with a focus on sustainability as well as a welcome spritzer. You will leave this experience with new knowledge, a unique textile, a full belly, and hopefully with some new connections in your community.
