Using DTF (direct to film) transfers – a type of iron-on transfer with ink, you will learn how to apply a DTF using a heat press. Learn several basic techniques on how to color on your denim shirt (applicable to most other fabrics as well). Kit fee is $30 payable to Michele Markey at the workshop (cash, credit cards accepted). Each mandala kit comes with a 24 set of acrylic markers, fabric paint, fabric medium, brushes and paint palette.
