Learn the basics of how to ice dye from start to finish. 3-Hour Crafts & Drafts Workshop Date: Friday, October 1, 2021 Time: 6pm-9pm Description: This workshop will teach the basics of how to ice dye from start to finish. This technique uses ice to "split" colored dye into its component parts, resulting in vibrant, unpredictable, and complex explosions of color onto previously white fabrics. Students will have the opportunity to ice-dye up to two items, which they will bring with them. This workshop will take students through each step of the ice dyeing process so that everyone will be bale to do this at home. The possibilities for ice dyeing are endless: shirts, pants, socks, aprons, bath towels, bedspreads, curtains, fabric squares for quilting - you name it, you can ice dye it! Tuition: $40 Materials: Students should bring two items to ice dye. All items must be white or beige and at least 95% natural plant fiber (cotton, linen, rayon). No synthetic fabrics (polyester)! All other materials will be provided. Crafts & Drafts: Participants must be 21 years of age or older. Beer and lights snacks will be provided.
