My students are blown away when they see what they make during their first workshop with me. The words that we hear during the big reveal are "Oh WOW!"

Have you tried making tie dye before only the results bled all over your washing?

Avoid the pink socks and underpants, start with the right information and avoid the color bleed.

Learn from a trusted source with twenty eight years of experience.

I started dyeing garments to sell at markets in 1993 and during this time I perfected my methods so my garments did not run or fade when my customers bought them. Later I went on to dye bespoke fabrics for the South African fashion industry where quality was my focus.

I am available to answer your questions by e-mail and on Facebook in the supporting groups that I have set up there for my students. Get the answers to your specific questions as you experiment with what you learn in the online courses.
