The Magic of Ice Dyeing 
Ice dyeing is the process of using ice and powdered dyes to create incredible colors and patterns on fabric, clothes, and home décor. The melting ice randomly spreads the dyes on the fabric, leading to fantastic and unique results each time!
In this class you will learn multiple ways of using ice, dyes, and fabric to create stunning colors and patterns that you can’t get any other way. We’ll start with the basics and move on to explore more advanced techniques. You’ll learn how to get the colors where you want them, how to combine shibori and tie dye techniques with ice dyeing, and more.
Ice dyeing is fun, easy, and no dyeing experience is needed.

Transform Your Stash with Dyes
