Learn the classic Spiral tie-dye technique and create bold, eye-catching designs! In this hands-on workshop, Elissa, an expert in fabric dyeing, will guide you through the process of folding, twisting, and applying dye to achieve the perfect spiral effect. Whether you’re new to tie-dye or looking to refine your skills, this class will help you create vibrant, professional-quality pieces.  

We ask you to supply the material you want to dye, as there’s all types of bodies and people like different style garments or may choose to dye fabric instead of garments.

What You Will Learn:

• The Spiral folding technique and how to create different variations
• How to apply dye for smooth, even color transitions
• Tips for achieving high contrast or blended effects
• How to properly set and care for your dyed fabric for lasting results

What to Bring to This Class:

• Up to three t-shirts OR 1 pound by weight of any 100% cotton fabric or garments to dye:
  
  Items must be washed on hot beforehand to remove anything that could prevent proper dye absorption. This is a great opportunity to breathe new life into old clothes! Cotton fabric can be made into wall-hangings, curtains etc.
  
  If you want new T-shirts for dying, Elissa recommends Gildan brand 100% cotton heavy duty shirts, which can be purchased online or at Walmart in the craft section.
• Close-toe shoes are required at MAKE!
• Your apron (if you have one) OR wear old clothing ok to get dyed/messy!
• Dress in layers – we’ll be outside in nice weather & bring a hat & sunscreen
• Water bottle & snacks

Please Note:
