March 6th: Dye Hard Fabric Art

Unleash your inner artist with our "Dye Hard" Fabric Art Program! Dive into the vibrant world of textile coloring as you learn the unique properties and application techniques of both natural dyes (sourced from plants and minerals) and synthetic dyes (modern, vibrant, and colorfast). You'll discover how to create stunning patterns using classic tie-dye methods. This hands-on experience culminates in you taking home two fantastic, personally-designed creations: a cool, colorful tie-dyed pillowcase and a matching pair of dyed socks! Come explore chemistry, history, and fashion all in one creative session.
