Choose Your Canvas!

The first and most important piece of information you MUST know before choosing a dye, and to some extent a paint, is what type of fabric or surface you will be working on.

If you do not know the type of fabric you are working on, you definitely need to find out before choosing a dye to work with.

The second piece of information is what kind of technique you want to do. Some techniques you can only use dyes, some only paints, but on certain fabrics you can use dyes or paints for a technique, depending on whether you want a professional job and don't mind working with dye chemicals, are working with small children and need something completely non-toxic with easy cleanup, do or do not want a "feel" on the fabric, prefer to work with liquids over powders, don't mind heat setting paint, etc., etc. We will try to give you as much info as we can so you can make the right choices.
