Exploring Batik and Tie Dye: The Art of Fabric Dyeing
Even though the 1960s are history, the art of tie dyeing clothes is ever-present and here to stay! This section on the Creativity Portal explores the art of fabric dyeing in both tie-dye and batik methods. What's the difference between the two? Batik is a more involved method of dyeing fabric using removable wax on the parts of the fabric you don't want dyed, whereas tie dye (also noted as tie-dye & tiedye) is a method of dyeing fabric after knotting or rubber banding it to produce interesting and irregular patterns.
Explore the process of both batik and tie dye and how to make imaginative patterns and designs from the following information and recommended Websources. For video demos, we recommend you searching.
