Tie-Dye Workshop
May 30, 2024 from 5-8 p.m.
Join ICA at Parque de Pobladores to celebrate the first night market of the year. We will be hosting a tie-dye workshop in the eastern region of the Parque. Participants will learn techniques to create one-of-a-kind T-shirts to take home. Guests are also encouraged to bring any fabric they want to use in the workshop. This class will be facilitated by ICA Facilities and Operations Manager, and local artist, Sam Marks.
