4th of July Patriotic Tye-dye T-shirt
Saturday, 12:00 pm
June 27 | Ages 9-12

Class:

What better way to celebrate 250 years of Independence this Fourth of July than with your very own patriotic tie-dye t-shirt!! Show off the good ole’ red, white, and blue this year as you twist, turn, and dye the t-shirt to create a unique, spirited design of your very own!

What You’ll Learn:

In this class, you will learn the basics of the tie-dye process using red and blue non-toxic dyes on a white t-shirt. We will investigate several methods of creating designs by way of twisting, folding, and turning the shirt as we apply the dye in small doses. Don’t worry about your hands or clothes – we will supply non-latex gloves and aprons!

What You’ll Leave With:

By the end of this class, you will have a patriotic tie-dye t-shirt for the Fourth of July (or any day, really!) as well as care instructions to make those colors last!
