IRREGULart - Creative tie-dye worksho | Tsim Sha Tsui

Tie-dye has a long history. Originated from the Yellow River Basin. It is still uncertain when it originated. According to records, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, knotted and anti-dyed twisted valerian silk had been produced in large quantities.

Tie-dyeing generally uses cotton white cloth or cotton-linen blended white cloth as raw material. The tie-dying process is divided into two parts: tying and dyeing. It uses yarn, thread, rope and other tools to tie, sew, tie, patch, clip and other combinations of fabrics before dyeing. Its purpose is to prevent dyeing on the tied parts of the fabric, so that the tied parts maintain their original color while the untied parts are evenly dyed.

There are a wide variety of modern dyes, and there are many choices for tie-dye processes. Reactive dyes can be operated at low temperatures. Disperse dyes have good penetration and direct dyes have natural effects. At present, tie-dyeing is no longer limited to clothing, but has a wider range of uses. The products include hundreds of varieties such as piece-colored cloth, tablecloths, door curtains, clothing, ethnic bags, hats, hand towels, scarves, pillow covers, bed sheets, etc.

IRREGULart provides square towels, pencil cases, long bags, T-shirts, canvas bags, backpacks, neck scarves, pillow cases, etc. to choose from. In addition, students can also bring their own tie-dyed items and bring them to class to change them. New shapes can give a second life, or use some simple techniques to restore the popularity of meaningful old items, improve their memory, and add meaning to environmentally-themed creations. Students complete everything from material selection to design by themselves, and finally take the completed work home, adding a sense of ritual to life.
