AC_P: Fabric Dyeing - Ice & Tie Dye Techniques NEW CLASS

Ready to transform a plain white tee into a vibrant masterpiece? Join me for a hands-on dive into the colorful world of tie dye! This class goes beyond the basics to explore everything from classic tying techniques to the fascinating techniques of Ice Dyeing.

Whether you’re looking to master the perfect water-to-dye ratio for maximum "color punch" or curious about how to handle synthetic fibers, this class has you covered. We’ll settle the age-old debate: Which came first, the ice or the dye? and set you up for success with tips for both indoor and outdoor setups.

What You’ll Learn:

• Precision Tying: Folds and swirls that create stunning patterns. 
• The Chemistry of Color: Dye brands, ratios, and pre/post-wash secrets. 
• Advanced Techniques: Ice dyeing, synthetic dyes, and development timing. 

The Hands-On Experience: After the classroom session, we’re heading outside! You’ll fold and tie a pre-washed 100% cotton t-shirt and set it up in a dye bucket using the Ice Dye method.

Note on Pickup: To ensure the brightest results, shirts need a 48-hour "dwell time." The instructor will handle the final rinse, and your finished creation will be ready for pickup in the Member Exchange two days later.

Each Student Receives:

• 100% cotton t-shirt (provided in your specified size).
• A comprehensive slide deck for future DIY projects. 
• A healthy dose of whimsy! 

Come ready to get creative and leave the mess to us!
