Description

Discover the magic of ice-dyeing in this hands-on workshop as melting ice transforms fabric or garments into vibrant, one-of-a-kind creations. No experience necessary and families are welcome! All chemicals, dyes, and necessary supplies will be provided. White 100% cotton fat quarters will be available to purchase from instructor. Bring a dust mask if you wish.

 

Participants are required to bring:

 

- Their own 100% natural fiber fabric (fat quarters) (cotton, silk, rayon, or linen- in white or light solids) and/or garments to dye. Participants should be able to dye approximately 4 pieces. T-shirts, scarves, baby garments, unique shirts, etc. would all be suitable for this class. You can choose to bring garments that are light-colored fabric but try to avoid dark colors.

 

- A large plastic dishpan, (or larger) plastic container. The plastic dishpan-style container will need to hold your garment(s) with ice and dye on top to travel home in your car safely!

 

- Please bring a roll of aluminum foil to use to hold the garments away from the dye that will drip into the bottom of each container as the ice melts.
