The Ice Dye Process

Ice dyeing is slow, organic, and impossible to replicate. As the ice melts, professional fiber-reactive dyes move through the fabric in soft, layered blooms creating one-of-a-kind wearable art shaped by gravity, temperature, and time.

1

PREP

Soda ash preps the fibers so the color bonds deeply and lasts.

2

ICE

Fabric is arranged, folded, or tied, then buried under ice.

3

DYE

Dye powder seeps through the ice as it melts, creating organic patterns and color splits.

4

CURE

Each piece rests for 24+ hours before being rinsed, washed, dried, and finished by hand.
