This is a fun new dyeing method to make multi colored and patterned shirts, underwear and fabric. What makes this process especially interesting is that you can’t control the dyes. They move as the ice or snow melts, and split into their component colors as the temperatures change. We will first soak our fabric or garments in soda ask, and place a screen or grate inside a plastic tub so that it’s raised off the bottom. Then we’ll use a variety of techniques to crumple, fold or tie the fabric and place it on top of the screen. Next, we’ll pile a bunch of ice or snow on top and then sprinkle dry dye fiber on top of everything. We’ll also try sprinkling the die before the ice or snow to see how the results differ. Ice dyeing needs to soak for at least 24 hours, so we’ll all come back the next day to unwrap our pieces and share the results.

 MATERIALS FEE : 5 dollars: soda ash, string for tying and several colors of dye.

Level: Beginner
