At this RNQG-Members-Only event, discover the mesmerizing art of ice dyeing in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop!
Ice dyeing uses the slow, unpredictable melt of ice to carry vibrant fiber-reactive dyes through fabric, creating breathtaking, one-of-a-kind patterns that resemble watercolor paintings, geological formations, and everything in between.
In this class, you’ll learn how to prep and scrunch your fabric for maximum visual texture, layer ice and dye to build depth and color complexity and understand how different color combinations interact as the ice melts. You’ll leave with finished pieces that are entirely your own, shaped by your color choices and the beautiful unpredictability of the process.
No experience necessary. All materials are provided. During class, you should complete five 40×40 dyed squares of fabric. Come ready to get your hands colorful and embrace the joy of letting go of control — because in ice dyeing, the ice always has the final say!
- Wear clothing and shoes to class that won’t upset you if soiled by dye! Gloves are available on-site if needed.
Fabric rinse will be done by workshop participants at Cannizzaro Creations the next day. Rinsing takes about 30 minutes. Timing and rinsing arrangements will be discussed during the workshop. You may arrange to have your fabric rinsed by the Cannizzaros, but will need to agree on a time / date that you will retrieve your fabrics.
