SUMMARY:Tie Dye Class
DESCRIPTION:If you enjoy the art of tie dye you will love this CTI class. We will have a guest teacher for this class\, Cat Kaner\, a CTI member’s parent and also a tie dye expert. Cat will teach the group many different techniques for how to roll your white item into various patterns. All supplies will be provided\, though participants are encouraged to bring their own old white items. Cat is a firm believer in up-cycling and reusing\, and as a result she asks that everyone bring something white that might be stained or not in perfect condition anymore. She will help you give that item (whether it be a shirt\, pillow case\, pair of socks) a second life through the use of tie dye. Please wear clothing that you don’t mind getting messy in (aprons to protect your clothes will be supplied).
