Do you know the origin of the phrase “Blue is obtained from the indigo plant but is bluer than the plant itself ”? It has to do with the incredible "blue pigmentation process" of bluegrass. According to legend, ancient Chinese literati were amazed at the blue colour produced by blue dye. Tie-dyeing was one of the methods used to render the blue dye.
Would you like to recreate the ancient and magical art of tie-dye, skillfully mixing different beautiful colours, creating different interesting patterns🪬, leading to unbelievable outcomes? These processes can definitely be fun and memorable！
Come learn the traditional folk art of tie-dye that has been passed down through generations and use your creativity to apply this traditional craft to a variety of fabrics and objects to bring unique personality and style to your life!
At the same time, you can serve physically-disabled children which is a golden opportunity for you to understand their lives, chat and have fun with them. You can help them to enhance their fine motor skills, train their hand coordination and master the use of tie-dye tools.
