In this FREE high school program, explore how wealth, status, power and fashion collide with the natural world with a hands-on experience in natural dayes at AMNH  Uncover the role color played in shaping societies across the globe with our anthropology collections, and see the plants, sea life and insects that created desirable dyes.  Then take a trip through time to dye your own fabrics with natural materials and traditional techniques.
