Description

1-Day Workshop, Saturday October 4; 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Student Level: Adults, Age 18+; beginner friendly, no experience required!

Space is LIMITED - 6 students only; don't wait to register!

Geode ice dyeing is all the rage - but hard to do - so this class uses an innovative hot water process. Learn various techniques, geode tie, tie dye, incline dye and more! The $20 materials fee (payable to instructor) includes a luxurious bamboo scarf and bamboo socks.

Additionally, if there is time left, students may have the opportunity to dye their own items: Bring any white item to dye - it MUST be natural fiber: Cotton, linen, silk, bamboo, rayon, or tencel. Suggestions: A white t-shirt (often on sale at Jo-Ann's or Michaels), cloth napkins, other white clothing, or vintage items you no longer wear. Please pre-wash.

  • REQUIRED: $20 materials fee, payable to instructor at class, for one scarf and bamboo socks. Additional pieces may require an additional charge. 
  • Please bring a mask, a plastic bag to take wet pieces home, and rubber gloves. CTAC has non-latex disposable gloves that can be used
  • Please bring an apron or wear old clothes you don't mind getting stained 
  • Students must be comfortable with bringing dyed fabrics home to do final rinse/wash (laundry machine or clean laundry tub is ok)
  • 1/2 lunch break - please bring your own sack lunch; limited refrigerator space available
