3480 R McTavish

Teams will have one hour to transform a piece of clothing using only natural dyes and materials. While we’ll have some supplies available, participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own kettles, fabrics, and natural materials they want to experiment with—whether it’s your favorite t-shirt, scarf, or another wearable canvas.Beyond the fun and creativity, we’ll also highlight the plight of dye-house workers who labor in unsafe conditions without health insurance, raising awareness about the human cost behind many textiles.Free to attend—come ready to create, learn, and celebrate natural color! Everyone is welcome!This event is sponsored in part by the Sustainability Projects Fund at McGill University.We are proud to announce that our event has been awarded Silver Sustainable Event certification by the <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/sustainability/get-involved/sustainable-events" title="https://www.mcgill.ca/sustainability/get-involved/sustainable-events" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">McGill Sustainable Events</a> program run by the <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmcgill.ca%2Fsustainability%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cisabella.hamilton%40mail.mcgill.ca%7Cda1851c977c543b7cb7d08de264e5bc8%7Ccd31967152e74a68afa9fcf8f89f09ea%7C0%7C0%7C638990315218124490%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ppNeRlOmDrFTOZt3BAhiybkzGVI1QM8FG1HSmAiza0M%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmcgill.ca%2Fsustainability%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cisabella.hamilton%40mail.mcgill.ca%7Cda1851c977c543b7cb7d08de264e5bc8%7Ccd31967152e74a68afa9fcf8f89f09ea%7C0%7C0%7C638990315218124490%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ppNeRlOmDrFTOZt3BAhiybkzGVI1QM8FG1HSmAiza0M%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">McGill Office of Sustainability</a>.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rejoignez-nous pour une soirée pratique, créative et porteuse de sens lors de notre Natural Dye-Off ! Les équipes auront une heure pour transformer un vêtement en utilisant uniquement des teintures et des matériaux naturels. Bien que nous fournirons certains matériaux sur place, les participant·e·s sont fortement encouragé·e·s à apporter leurs propres bouilloires, tissus et éléments naturels avec lesquels ils souhaitent expérimenter — que ce soit votre t-shirt préféré, une écharpe ou toute autre toile à porter.Au-delà du plaisir et de la créativité, nous mettrons également en lumière la réalité des travailleur·euse·s des ateliers de teinture, qui œuvrent souvent dans des conditions dangereuses et sans assurance maladie, afin de sensibiliser au coût humain caché derrière de nombreux textiles.Participation gratuite — venez prêtes à créer, apprendre et célébrer les couleurs naturelles!Cet événement est en partie financé par le Fonds pour les projets de développement durable de l'Université McGill.Nous sommes fiers d’annoncer que notre événement a été certifié comme événement D’Argent par le programme <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/sustainability/get-involved/sustainable-events" title="https://www.mcgill.ca/sustainability/get-involved/sustainable-events" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Événements durables McGill</a> du <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmcgill.ca%2Fsustainability%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cisabella.hamilton%40mail.mcgill.ca%7Cda1851c977c543b7cb7d08de264e5bc8%7Ccd31967152e74a68afa9fcf8f89f09ea%7C0%7C0%7C638990315218148567%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=prRZzzEkR7Zpb3gi9ndIGOPl12qK2ZCNHECT%2BTUVX4M%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmcgill.ca%2Fsustainability%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cisabella.hamilton%40mail.mcgill.ca%7Cda1851c977c543b7cb7d08de264e5bc8%7Ccd31967152e74a68afa9fcf8f89f09ea%7C0%7C0%7C638990315218148567%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=prRZzzEkR7Zpb3gi9ndIGOPl12qK2ZCNHECT%2BTUVX4M%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bureau du développement durable de l’Université McGill</a>.
