Join us for Reverse Tie Dye with Kilikina.
Reverse Tie Dye is a technique where color is removed from a black shirt using a chemical color remover and hot water. The fabric may be left as is, or dyed more, using colored fiber reactive dyes. Various tying and binding resist techniques will be introduced, including the scrunch, the stripe, rings, the spider and the spiral.
Students may bring up to 5 BLACK items to dye (100%cotton recommended).
Finished dyed items will be placed in ziploc bags. For best results, items should cure for 24 hours then be rinsed, washed and dried at home.
An additional $40 supply fee will be due to the instructor at the beginning of class
