In this beginner friendly class, students will learn from start to finish how to work with natural dyes and create 3 tie-dye bandanas they can take home with them that day. We will walk through the steps of a) preparing the fabric for dye (scouring and mordanting), b) preparing natural dyes, and c) tie-dye techniques which students will use to make their own creations. The last 30 minutes of class will be for final questions and steaming the pieces before students take them home.
This class will be held in our Upstairs classroom. Students should wear apparel that can get messy, as natural dyes may stain clothing.
