Future Threads (Summer Camp)
Join us this summer for this 1-week summer program, where fashion meets science! Youth will get hands on experience with botanical dyeing, create bio material trinkets, and explore other textile & material innovations.

Perfect for young people interested in textiles, sustainability, art, and creating a better material future.
