Classes
A: Upcycle your T-shirt with the Magic of Discharge Dyeing with Julia Pfaff (ages 9+ with a registered adult)
Work with fiber artist Julia Pfaff to personalize a t-shirt with discharge dye (Like bleach, but not bleach!). Students should bring in a colored cotton t-shirt (worn or new) and use shibori tie-dye methods to create bold unique designs by taking the color out. Tshirt must be cotton, and the color black works best, as light colors won’t show the pattern.
