The Gloucester 400+ and ROBBERSDAUGHTER are excited to present this inclusive, all ages art programming exploring the botany of Gloucester through natural dyeing.

Led by local artist Maia Mattson, this art programming weaves together community connection with the unique natural environment that surrounds us on Cape Ann. In these classes we will be using botanical materials exclusively sourced and foraged from Gloucester. Using these materials we will practice a variety of natural dyeing techniques and quilting design. Participants will have the opportunity to make their own 2’x3′ ft flag using the naturally dyed fabric. Participants can work in teams to design and create their flags or make their own. Toward the end of the art series we will facilitate a reception showcasing the work of the participants. All experience levels welcome, we will learn and experiment together! All classes will be hosted at the Gloucester 400+ Office at 123 Main St.
