From Tie-dye Shopping

Can commercial tie-dye artists work together?

This is an experiment. Obviously there will be some competition between tie-dye artists based on the idea that the limited amount of customers must be shared.

I don't believe this to be true. If we all work together as a group and thus with much more energy can create a bigger awareness of tie-dye in amongst the millions of potential customers, and we can multiply our exposure to them.

For the customers this is also very useful, as he has one place only to go to find all different kinds of tie-dyes. And of the think of all the people who come by just to see what this excitement is all about, we are able to show that there is something available that he or she might not have considered before actually seeing it.

So, I hope we all pull together and create a new awareness that tie-dye is something to recon with.

I will start inviting the members of the close-knit group of DIY tie-dyers and see what they have to say. Some of us might have started with just doing a weekend project dyeing some t-shirts.

Best of luck,
