Women’s Day Out:

Natural Dyes and Green Cleaning  

July 12th (Sat) - 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Sometimes you just need a day away from this insane 24/7 world we seem to have created for ourselves.  This is why Blue Rock Station has created a series of women-only, restful and nurturing workshops.  

Who could imagine that if you pick those gorgeous Queen Anne Lace blooms – that some folks think are weeds – you could create a creamy light yellow dye to use to dye a stained garment or a piece of art?  Who could imagine picking some lemon balm from the garden and creating a healthy-to-use pleasant-smelling effective cleaning solution?

Join Annie Warmke and Brenda South to learn how to use natural, easy-to-find ingredients to make useful things for your life.  Bring along a couple of containers with screw on lids so you can take some of our bounty home, or just come prepared to have fun.  Aprons are provided or bring your own.  

 Reservations are required and the cost is $25 per person.  To reserve your spot, visit www.bluerockstation.com or send a check to Blue Rock Station, 1190 Virginia Ridge, Philo OH 43771.

MORE ABOUT ANNIE & BRENDA:

Annie and Brenda have gained a bit of a reputation for their hearty laughter and fun workshops they teach together at Blue Rock Station.  Together they love to dream up menus to prepare and have been teaching a class with women survivors of violence on fast healthy food – making salsas, canning pickles, making ice cream and more.  Now they are moving on to teach more about green living topics they know well.

Annie says she isn’t a domestic engineer but she likes things to be naturally clean.  Besides cooking, and sometimes cleaning, Annie served as the project manager and contractor for the Earthship at BRS, and she teaches gardening, natural animal health and a variety of other topics.

Brenda is a shepherdess with her own business, Log Cabin Weaving, located near Zanesville Ohio.
