TIE DYE
Dyeing Basics
Use good quality dye
Use soft 100% cotton or linen fabric
Prewash fabric
Let dye soak for 24 hours in plastic before unwrapping
Use a mordant and fixative
Mordants & Fixatives
Mordant: a substance, typically an inorganic oxide, that combines with a dye or stain and thereby fixes it in a material. Can be added to dye, but is better as a presoak for the fabric.
Dye Fix: used after dyeing to help link the dye to the fabric
Classroom Basics
Dye outside only.
Use gloves and smocks
Wrap freshly dyed fabric
Label fabrics clearly, so you remember which is yours
Store freshly dyed fabric on the plastic provided
DO NOT DRIP ON THE FLOOR
Put final fabrics on the rack to dry with newspaper to catch the drips
Put you gloves and plastic in the garbage
Clean your clamps and put them back in the bucket
Shibori
Shibori is the Japanese term
(from the word ‘to squeeze or wring’)
It is a bit like tie dye,
but more precise and geometric.
It is usually done with a single indigo(blue) dyebath
It uses a variety of resist techniques which prevent the dye from reaching certain parts of the fabric. The original fabric colour remains in resist areas.
Tyeing
Pleating
Clamping
Sewing
These fabrics have been
sewn and tied.
3 things to remember:
Thing 1
The resist must be as tight as
you can make it.
It needs to be tight enough to prevent
water and dye from traveling along the cloth
Thing 2
The dye does not
penetrate to the middle of
the fabric if you are working
with many layers of fabric
Thing 3
Fabric should be wet or soaked
in plain water after it is tied and
before it is dyed.
SEWING
pleating/folding & sewing
Any shape you can sew, you can pull in to a resist

ORIGAMI
The key to an interesting
design is precise geometric
folding and tight resist.
TIE DYE
Tie-dye is a modern term coined in the mid-1960s in the United States for a set of ancient resist-dyeing techniques, and for the products of these processes.
In the 1960s, tie-dye was brought to America through the hippie movement, a youth movement that advocated the sexual revolution, psychedelic rock and protested the Vietnam War. Hippies wanted a way to escape from the strict social norm of the 50s, and tie-dye was just one way of expressing their free-spirited nature.
Before tie-dye became popular, the Rit Dye company was struggling. A company representative got two retired artists to create tie-dye pieces to show to designers and fashion editors and it was suddenly a hit.
After clothing designer Halston started using tie-dye in his designs, stars such as Janis Joplin were wearing it. Soon enough, tie-dye became a bandwagon the entire youth generation jumped on.
Stripes
scrunch fabric vertically.
Wrap rubber bands around the laces you want stripes. You will need two rubber bands for each stripe.
Bull's Eye
Place fabric on a flat surface.
Pinch and lift the center of your bull’s eye.
Place rubber bands along the section you lifted. The number of rubber bands you use depends on how many sections you want in your bull's eye.
Spiral
Tye Dye
You need to produce a spiral and one tie dye of choice.
I will demonstrate additional folds for you to chose from
