If you’ve tried tie-dye, this is the next level! Ice-dyeing gives your fabric a watercolor or gemstone effect. There is some trick and technique to this method, but lots of surprises along the way! The end result will bring you lots of rich colors and flowy, organic designs.
This class will cover how to select and prep fabric, folding and tying techniques, and the ice dye method.
*please note that part of this class takes place outdoors
