Event Details

In this family workshop, we will be learning about the ancient and most commonly used natural dye in modern life and its origin in Mexico.      

We will examine cochineal beetles, make a natural dye and test some of the   different chemical properties these dyes have, while observing some of their physical characteristics.

Workshop led by UC San Diego's CREATE, in collaboration with the SY.STEM Committee, a San Ysidro Education Collaborative working group.
