About this Event
Stencil your tote bag with Bengala Dyes - Instructor: Chiaki O'Brien Date: Saturday 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Max: 12 Min Age: 13 Class Fee: $45 Materials fee payable to instructor: $15
Let's have fun with your creativity and make a “one-of-a-kind” tote bag by stenciling with Bengala Mud Dyes. Natural Japanese dye, Bengala dyes are made from soil, ‘environmentally safe’. Everyone will learn about the history and cultural significance of this unique dye form. The instructor will bring a variety of stencils for your creativity. Some stencils are from Japan that the instructor brought back! We start making the dyes into paste to stencil and have fun! You can choose as many colors as you like from a dozen of Bengala Dyes. We will set it by drying using a hair dryer and an iron. If you have extra time, you can stencil another one. The instructor will prepare extra tote bags and fabric to choose from (extra fee) or you can bring your own material (t-shirt, tote bag...) The dye fee might be charged for extra.
Students should bring:
A small spray bottle with water in it. A masking tape, a few sheets of newspaper or paper towels, a hair dryer, an iron and an ironing board. (Even though everyone brings them, we only use a few sets or hair dryers and irons/boards.) Stencils you would like to use if you have some. If there is some extra time, people can purchase whatever the instructor prepares for stenciling. Gloves and aprons are optional.
