Coloring the Colony: Indigo Dyeing Program
At Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site
The indigo has been grown, the dye has been fermented, and it’s your turn to color the colony indigo-blue. Join us to learn about the history of the plant and dyestuff in South Carolina, then try dyeing fabric yourself. Gloves are provided, but you might want to wear clothes you don't mind getting stained with indigo dye.
