Tie Dye Thursdays

We recently started a fun and colorful event called Tie Dye Thursdays and we're DYING (hehe) to tell you about it!

Miss Kirsten has spent years perfecting the art of tie-dying. She has spent countless hours with friends scouring Youtube and using her own imagination to learn about dyes, shapes, patterns, mixing colors and experimenting with different fabrics. 

This weekly add-on to open studio is fun for most ages - there are easier techniques for younger kids and more challenging techniques for the older ones! 

First we fold the shirts.....

Then we discuss color theory and make sure the colors that are next to each other make a good color when they mix (i.e. red next to blue for purple, red next to yellow for orange etc!)

Then we start the dying process!

We have some easier kid-friendly and fun techniques including the firework technique that uses squishy stringy balls to create an awesome firework effect!

We love Thursdays and it's a great parent/child bonding time!

A few notes on Tie Dye Thursday:

• Bring your own white cotton items
• Wear dark or old clothing because the dyes are PERMANENT!
• Bring a plastic bag to carry your tie-dyes home in
• Give yourself the entire time to be here, the process takes a little while, and some patience!
• Expect to have fun! 

If you want to try tie-dying on your own head over to our affiliate DickBlick account to get your tie-dye supplies and help support our business!

See you on Thursdays 3:30-5!
