I loved this class! I think the best part was that you can't make a mistake. Any way you wrap, bind, fold your fabric still produces an awesome result. The instructor Angela was fabulous. Super friendly and helpful, clearly explained the technique. I left with three swatches of dyed cotton fabric and one dyed silk scarf. Plus there were cocktails! Super fun class.
