About Fit to be Tied
Who Am I?
My name is Stacey Smith-Bacon and my story is that I started to learn how to tie dye back in 2012, because my friend who is a tie dye expert asked me if I would like to learn. My answer was a resounding “YES!” since I had always been curious about how it was done. My friend and teacher, Susan Montgomery, is an excellent teacher who guided me through each project with patience and expertise. Sooooo, after about 9 years of having what we called “play dates” to tie and dye on a regular basis, I decided to start teaching so I could pass this skill on to other willing participants.
What to Expect
Would you like to have fun while learning how to Tie Dye?
Classes can be at your home in the backyard, the garage, driveway or wherever you might have a space to accommodate
the guests you invited for your tie dye event. I will bring all the supplies so you and your guests have a great time
while making wearable art.
I teach a beginners Tie Dye class that shows students how to tie up an item of clothing or material by teaching three different basic methods of tying using artificial sinew or rubber bands. Once the item is tied, the student(s) will choose to dye their item(s) from a variety of colors. After the class is over, they will take the item home to "set" the dyes over a 24 hour period before rinsing out the item(s). A typical class usually runs about 2 hours.
In this Workshop, students will provide their own item(s) to dye, ranging from tee shirts to canvas bags, or dish towels to aprons. Whatever they would like to have as wearable art or just a large piece of material to hang on the wall, such as a mandala. I will provide the sources of where to shop for the items.
