We will be using bleach to remove existing dye from fabrics in such a way to create patterns and designs. Watch demonstrations and practice using the techniques and tools. Learn to allow the bleach to reach only certain areas of your fabric, leaving some of areas the original color. It will involve using a variety of stencils and clamps. There will be scraps of fabric to practice on before applying what you've learned onto your own fabrics.  
 
Bring five (or less) colored fabric items. (Ideas: tshirt, tote bag, scarf, apron, yards of fabric, tablecloth, pillowcase etc). Items need to be 100% cotton, silk, or acetate to work its best. Keep in mind that dark colors will have a stronger contrast than light colors, but any color will work. (Don't bring anything white or real light). 
 
Your fabric items can be old or new. It's also a great time to make something old or stained usable again. 
 
Please note: 
We will be working with bleach. Gloves will be provided. Please wear "paint clothes" and shoes.  
For those with allergies to latex gloves, please bring some that you can wear.  This workshop will take place both inside and outside. If it's hot out, we will find a shady area to work in.
