This is not just your run-of-the-mill tie-dye!

Geode dyeing is a very fun technique where you tie and dye fabric in such a way that it ends up looking like a geode rock formation; anything from small polka dots to large concentric circles. This technique uses a length of cord bound around a bundle of fabric, creating a great diversity of different shapes that come out so amazingly beautiful!

Each participant will receive two pillowcases to dye and bring home. Each Creative Happy Hour features a professional teaching artist leading a project, drinks (wine and non-alcoholic), and a chance to be creative in a special place. When possible, our galleries will be open during this event, so you also have the opportunity to take in the latest exhibition. No previous art experience is needed, just the desire to relax and have fun! 

This workshop is only for individuals 21 years of age and older.
