In this fun, colorful and whimsical camp, campers ages 7-11 will learn various dyeing techniques to create vibrant t-shirts, tote bags, bowls, jewelry and garlands. We’ll learn how to use powdered dye and ice (ice dyeing) to create a beautiful watercolor effect, how to use food coloring and bubbles to create dimension and texture and how to transfer natural dyes from plants onto fabric (hapazome). We’ll also make a fun bowl using our hand-dyed fabric! All of the dyes used will be non-toxic and kid-safe.

Campers are more than welcome to bring a few items from home to dye. They must be 100% cotton, white and pre-washed. Dyeing can get messy so campers should come wearing old clothes including shoes. 

At the end of the week, campers will participate in a "share showcase" with their instructor to share with friends and family.
