  I am excited to show you how to make these cheeky little snowmen using items you probably already have on hand! Craft the cutest, fluffy snowmen using recycled sweaters and socks. Perfect for gift giving and for adding a little cozy to your home during the Holiday Season and winter. Bonus - no sewing is involved! Bring old sweaters, socks, and other fabric if you have any. We have enough if you don't. All other materials included.

  Shibori is the Japanese dyeing process of folding fabric to create interesting patterns. We will dye a silk scarf in class, which is provided, but you need to bring two additional items to dye. Both need to be natural fibers such as 100% cotton, linen, rayon, bamboo, or silk. We will use both fabric paint and traditional indigo dye. All dye materials included.
