June 2-5 (Mon - Thu) | 9 am - 12:00 pm
Get ready for a super fun and colorful week at Tie Dye Camp with artist Cat Brantley! In this hands-on, creative camp we will explore the vibrant world of fabric dyeing and dive into the art of tie-dye, indigo dyeing, and fabric collage to make unique, one-of-a-kind creations.
Campers will learn the ancient and modern techniques of fabric dyeing, starting with the iconic tie-dye method to make their own custom t-shirts. Using a variety of clips and binds used in the traditional Japanese Shibori tie dye methods, campers will also experiment with the ancient art of indigo dye, a deep blue natural dye, to create stunning indigo bandanas. We will have some fun designing hand dyed fabric wall hangings using the batik method, and finish off with a vibrant fabric collage, layering different materials used all week to make colorful, textured designs.
Please provide a 100% cotton t-shirt in your child’s size for the tie dye t-shirt, pre-washed in warm soapy water and dried. All other materials will be provided.
You're welcome to send your child with their preferred drink or snack to make their camp experience even more enjoyable.
