Be prepared to get messy and play in buckets of colors in this fun, week-long workshop exploring Tie Dye, Shibori, Batik, and other fun “Resist” dyeing adventures! You are encouraged to Play, Explore, and Create! Learn some basic Hand and Machine Sewing. We’ll create a table runner, wall hanging, pillow, journal cover, and a stacked abstract “Earth Sculpture” from your one of a kind fabrics! As a bonus on “Freestyle Thursday”, bring something white that you would like to dye!

Masks may be required in the classroom depending on community spread. Masks requirements may be subject to change. If you are not willing to wear a mask please do not register for our youth classes.
