Hello ya'll!

I just wanted to share that im going to 2 schools and doing an after school club to get kids involved in tie dying! Don't worry were not doing it in the class rooms Smiley! I handily bought 4 pool covers to do tie dye on so It doesn't go all over the school yard! It's a free admission and I have ordered alot of dyes and plain white tee's.The concept of me doing this is to try and get kids into tie dying and help them learning art techniques ect. Hope some of you guys do this!

kind regards,

Jacob Burke

In the past few months I've had several youth activities: Tie Dye was the reward for students in three 5th grade classes if
they met their reading goal. So, I went into the school and did tie dye with about 35 kids. I also facilitated a tie dye
activity at a Harvest Festival last week. A young man contacted me about doing tie dye for his senior project for one of
his high school graduation requirements. So, he's been coming a couple afternoons as week to work with me.
And my number of tie dye parties has really picked up. Seems to me the youth are indeed curious about learning to dye.....

I just started the reward system and this is what I made for some lucky 11 year old students for getting good results in a recent test.











Their quite basic but I was short on dyes and I was to tired to make some more complex one's :/

I like their soft and subtle quality.....very popular look with
some of my customers.

Just learned my son is going to be moving to London for a year.
