In the first part of
Tie Dye Crash Course, Brad compresses over 16 years of making Tie Dyes
into 20 minutes. In that time he walks you through the processes needed to make
great Tie Dyes. He shows you all the tools and chemicals you’ll need. He
teaches you about preparing the cotton, making the dye, folding and
tying the cotton, choosing colors, and washing the finished products.
In the second part of the video Brad shows you how to make 10 different
Tie Dyes. He shows you how to make 3 different swirl patterns. Then he
goes on to show you how to make a stripe, wavy line, crinkle
pattern, heart, peace sign tie dye, clover, and a shirt with different
patterns on the front and back.
In each of the patterns Brad shows you steps he
takes to create the design and color it.
This is the first video in the series of Tie-Dye
Crash Course DVDs. Many parts in this video have been speed up to jam more
information into the video.
This video course has a real "Bang" for it's buck.
Learn the basics of the concept and how to apply those basics to 10 shirts.
Brad has included many different samples throughout
the video of shirts and sheets with the patterns to give you some more ideas.
You will also see Brad open each of the Tie-Dyes.
He show you the shirts before they are washed and after.
If you’re new to making Tie Dyes, you might not know this, but opening
the Tie-Dye is the best part!
This video is will take students from the beginner
level to the intermediate level of Tie-Dyeing.
This Tie-Dye video running time is 84 minutes and
the DVD format is NTSC.
In this video on making Tie-Dye Stars Brad
shows the hard to find tricks of making awesome Tie-Dye stars. Many
people have requested the information on how to get the white lines into
the star pattern. If you also want to know how this is done, this video
is for you.
Brad goes through all the steps he takes to make these
patterns. He starts out by showing you the folds that are used to get the right
shape of the star with out ever touching the cotton. Then after you see what’s
going to happen he begins the process.
You are guided through each of the folding steps. Then
Brad tells and shows you how to tie the cotton to create the cool star pattern
onto a tapestry sheet. The things Brad show you are hard to explain in writing,
and therefore hard to find on the Internet. His video on Stars clarifies many of
the misconceptions and misunderstandings about the star pattern and the white
lines.
Once the cotton is folded, you will learn the secret
to coloring the star pattern. These techniques make the perfect star pattern
almost every time. Then Brad continues to color the Tie-Dye in a somewhat fast
forward mode. Not too fast, but fast enough to keep your attention, and to have
room left for showing you how to make the star pattern on a shirt.
Brad colors the Star using 5 colors. He makes sure
you know which color he’s using at all times. He explains how to color some of
the unique folds and ties he has added to the cotton. You will get to see Brad
color the entire Tie-Dye tapestry.
Once the tapestry has been colored and 24 hours have
gone by, you will see him open the Tie-Dye. As the tapestry is opened he
explains to you what you are looking at to help your understanding of the
pattern.
Just incase you’re wondering how to make this pattern
on a shirt; Brad makes another star pattern onto a tee shirt. He wants you to
learn the differences in folding the pattern on two types of cotton.
In the second Tie-Dye, Brad again uses 5 colors to
help aid in your understanding. So you get to hear him describe in different
words how to do the star pattern. You will see him in each step he takes.
Once the shirt has been colored and 24 hours have
passed, you will see Brad open the shirt. This is always the best part of making
Tie-Dyes. You will see the magic of the Tie-Dye unfold right in front of your
eyes. You will see the shirt before and after it has been washed. This will help
you understand what will happen to the colors after they have been washed out of
the cotton.
During the coloring portion of the star on the shirt,
Brad again speeds the video just enough to keep your attention at a peak level.
A 15 minute sound clip of Brad playing his drums has
been added to the DVD menu. These drums were all played and recorded by Brad
during the making of the first video Tie-Dye Crash Course.
This is an advanced video on making Tie-Dyes in a
series of Crash Courses taught by Brad Garrett. In this video Brad does not
cover preparing the cotton, mixing the dyes, or washing the Tie-Dyes once they
are finished. These topics are part of the first video in the series of Tie-Dye
Crash Course DVDs.
The video running time is 55 minutes. The DVD format
is NTSC.
Do
you want to know how to make Tie-Dye butterflies? If so, this video is for you.
Brad goes into detail and covers how he makes the butterfly. He gives you a
detailed description of what is going to happen before he ever starts making the
Tie-Dye.
Then
Brad shows you and describes how to go about folding the cotton into the
butterfly pattern. During this process he teaches you about new folding
techniques that are usually kept secret. After showing you how to create 3D fan
folds, Brad will show you how to decorate the wings of the butterfly which you
can modify to meet your own creative ideas.
Once
the Tie-Dye butterfly has been folded you will see how to color the butterfly.
Most of this video is in real time, so you will see roughly how long each step
takes.
Then
Brad moves on to coloring the Tie-Dye. He shows you each step he takes through
the whole process and describes how it will effect the outcome of the Tie-Dye.
The beautiful Tie-Dyed butterfly is done with only 3 colors. It is amazing that
only 3 colors can make such a great Tie-Dye.
Once
the Tie-Dye has been colored and 24 hours has gone by, Brad slowly opens the
Tie-Dye so you can see how it unfolds into a butterfly. Once the Tie-Dye has
been opened Brad shows you the washed Tie-Dye.
This
video assumes you have seen the first video Tie-Dye Crash Course. In that video
you learn all the basic steps Brad does not show in this video like how to
prepare the cotton, mix the dyes, and wash the finished product. Unlike the
first video, this video only shows you one Tie-Dye. This Tie-Dyed butterfly is
an advanced Tie-Dye pattern, so the video focus is on just the one Tie-Dye.
Start to finish you will see and learn how it’s done!
Lastly, Brad has added 14 minutes of drums, that he played and mixed, to the
main menu of the DVD so you can listen to cool drums and make cool Tie-Dyes.
This
Tie-Dye video running time is 57 minutes, and the
DVD format is NTSC.
