HOME
This episode of Indigo in Green is about HOME and all the gifts of rest, warmth, and comfort found in the winter season. Get snuggly with a cup of tea and join us for:
+ a snowy field trip
+ a beautifully imperfect visible mending tutorial
+ a brew of handcrafted ink from onion skins that smells like coming home to a tasty dinner in the works, and
+ a mindful cup of chai.

Black Walnut
In this episode of Indigo in Green, we take a visit to Aunt Marjory in Germantown and say hello to her black walnut tree, make dye from the black walnut hulls, then create fabric for a Fibonacci quilt. Later join in on the ecoprint experiment fun and enjoy the last bits of the season with long shadows, listening for the sounds of the wind blowing through the trees.
