Looking for unique things to do in Melbourne with the kids? Join this fun and creative tie-dye workshop!
You will learn how to fold and dye designs like the classic tie-dye spiral, love heart, stripes, bullseye, V-fold, and scrunch.
Each participant will receive the following items to tie-dye in this workshop:
  • 1 x cotton bag (choose mini backpack OR tote bag)
  • 1 x t-shirt (kids' sizes 2-14 OR adults' sizes XS-XL) - larger sizes up to 5XL available for an extra $5
  • 1 x hand towel
All you need to bring is some other items for dyeing (kids or adults' t-shirts or leggings, baby onesies, etc.).
We'll have enough time to get through about 3-4 more pieces per participant, and we will use tie-dye to transform them into your very own wearable works of art!
The number of pieces that we get through will depend on the designs you choose, so it can vary from person to person.
If you don't have time to grab enough blank items before the workshop, there will be a limited number of extra blanks available for purchase here, including t-shirts, bags, pillowcases, lightweight hoodies, bandannas, shoelaces, etc.
This workshop is suitable for adults AND kids aged 6 and up. For safety and insurance reasons, children under 6 cannot stay for the duration of the workshop.
One ticket PER PERSON participating, please! You're welcome to drop off your child/ren and come back for them at 12, or you can stay if you or your child would like you to. If you are staying but not participating in the workshop, you do NOT need a ticket for yourself.
This workshop must have a minimum of 6 participants booked in order to go ahead. If fewer than 6 people are booked in, we reserve the right to cancel the workshop with at least 72 hours' notice.

Knowledge required
No experience required.
 
What you'll get
  • 1 x Cotton Bag (Choose Mini Backpack or Tote Bag)
  • 1 x T-shirt (Kids' Sizes 2-14 or Adults' Sizes XS-XL) - Larger sizes up to 5XL available for an extra $5
  • 1 x Hand Towel
What to bring
At least 3-4 other items for tie-dyeing. Shops like Target, Kmart, and Best and Less are great for cheap, white blanks.
Please note:
  • Do not bring anything larger than an adult-sized t-shirt (no sheets, quilt covers, or towels, please!), and make sure it's as close to 100% cotton as possible and pre-washed without any fabric softener. Pre-washing is a very important step, as most fabrics have chemical finishes on them that will resist the dyes, and the results can be unpredictable and sometimes disappointing. It doesn't matter if your items are still damp from the prewash before you come, but please make sure they have been washed!
  • Fabrics labelled as bamboo, rayon, modal, and linen also dye beautifully. Polyester is the enemy, and anything with a high polyester content will simply be a waste of dye as it will all go down the drain when you wash it. The dyeing process that we use is not suitable for silk or wool. Feel free to send me an email with any questions about suitable fabrics. For the most vibrant results, white or cream-coloured fabric is best, although we can also work with more light and pastel colours.
