Explore Fabric Painting!

This is a fascinating project, draw on cotton fabric, add the alcohol/vinegar blend and watch the magic happen!

A caregiver must be present for children under the age of 10 to help with the project. Wear an old shirt to protect your clothing. Ages 5+ Registration required

Scrunch Painting a Silk Scarf-Teen Workshop!

Ideal for the beginner, no experience necessary!

We will discuss colors and how to blend them in a successful manner using a permanent, high chroma, highly transparent liquid fabric paint. Instructions will be given for a step by step “tie dye style” creative process and each participant will go home with a beautiful, wearable creation. At the end of the workshop each participant will take home their scarf and allow it to dry overnight. Once the piece is dry, it can be ironed on the silk setting to permanently set the colors.
