One to Keep, One to Grow: A Community Eco-Dyeing Experience
Celebrate Detroit Month of Design by discovering how nature can become both artist and designer. Drop in anytime during this free, hands-on workshop at AKOMA at Oakland Avenue Urban Farm and create beautiful botanical prints using leaves, flowers, and other plants grown on-site.

You'll create two unique botanical prints—one to take home as a keepsake and one to donate to Fiber Art on the Ave, a collaborative outdoor textile installation at Oakland Avenue Urban Farm. Together, these individual pieces will become a vibrant community artwork celebrating creativity, sustainability, and our shared connection to place.
