D.I.Y. LEVEL 2 is BACK! ๐
If youโre new to EKF, hereโs a quick rundown of what level 2 looks like: first, youโll need to take D.I.Y. Level One with us, whether you took it in 2024, 2025, or are signed up for our class in just a couple of weeks! Next, the actual class ๐ D.I.Y. 2 is your chance to have even more creative freedom than level one with the opportunity to create your own exclusive colorway!! Hereโs how it works - once you sign up for the class, Iโll send you a Google Form where you will submit photos to create your very own colorway inspiration board for the class! Iโll take your photos and create unique dye steps for you, and from there, the colors are YOURS to decide what to do with and how to dye with. The class will be 3 hours long, giving you plenty of time to plan your colorway AND allowing us to work together if you want more one-on-one help once weโre actually in the studio.ย
ย Getting to do this course means getting to do my favorite parts of the job โ creating with color, collaborating with you, and spending time in our community ๐ฅน๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐จ.
Sign-ups for D.I.Y. Level 2 open on Sunday, May 24th at 7pm MTย
