Fabric Dyeing with ice is MAGIC! In this class we will learn how to fold & bind mandala designs into large cotton shawls, & dyeing is with an ice melt technique that creates an incredible watercolor wash of pigments.

Dyes being used are commercial grade synthetic dyes called procion MX fiber reactive dyes. The chemical bonds of these dyes are permanent, non-toxic, and safe against even sensitive skin.

There will be some down time for each class, so a potluck is encouraged! Bring your favorite dish to share, and enjoy the cash bar that Ella Sharp Museum will have provided. Please wear clothing that you wouldn’t mind a potential splash of dye on. 

Please e-mail Justine with any questions! mercurialthreads.art@gmail.com
