We will have a bunch of charcoal and paper to play with along with instructions for making your own charcoal in the grill &#8211; the original plan for tonight, but the heat and threat of thunderstorms are going to drive us inside. All materials and methods are welcome &#8211; from painting to knitting!</p>

<p> Look for the red cart at Brookside to find us. Please bring your own seating if picnic tables aren&#8217;t to your liking. We will give a brief overview of the different types of designs that could be made and then get to it.  Please bring your own cotton material (t-shirts or plain fabric) to dye. </p>
