Icy Delights Online Class Now FREE!!

Back in early 2011 I created the popular dyeing technique I called Ice Dyeing.

It came about because at the time I was writing a column for the local paper on area artists and crafters. The artist I interviewed was talking about snow dyeing. Since we don’t get a lot of snow in this area, she used a snow cone maker machine. I loved her fabric and once it snowed I tried it and loved it, but that was the end of snow and I really didn’t want to buy a machine. Since she made the snow from ice cubes, I thought why not just use ice cubes, and forget about the machine. And that is when ice dyeing was born. I had never used fiber reactive dyes in my life so this was a whole new experience for me! I sat on the floor at Dick Blick’s trying to decide what colors to use! This was my first piece. I called it Mayo’s garden after my grandma.

I emailed Quilting Arts magazine about my technique, and the first article about ice dyeing appeared in the 2011 issue. In 2013, I taught a Webinar for Interweave. That led me to designing my own class, Icy Delights in 2016. It’s been a popular class taken by 100s of students, both seasoned dyers and beginners.

It’s now time for me to open it up for all, and for free. So all you have to do is go to my You Tube Channel. Look at the playlist for Icy Delights. Under each video in the comment section I have a link to the pdf that I talk about in the video. Enjoy!
