Activity 1
Know something about tie-dyeing by reading and listening
Skim the passage and find out what it is about.
It’s about tie-dyeing.
A Amy is learning about the craft of tie-dyeing and has found an article about it. Read the article and answer the questions below.
Do you have a tie-dyed T-shirt? Tie-dyeing is an old art with a history of over 1,500 years, and it became most popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Here are the steps for tie-dyeing. First twist a piece of cloth and tie it with thread. Then dye the material and when it is dry, untie it. The tied part stays the same colour as before, but the rest has a different colour.
Today, in some parts of Yunnan Province, for example, local people still use traditional tie-dyeing methods to make different products like scarves and bags. Tie-dyeing is not only a form of art but also a lifestyle.
1 What are the steps to tie-dye a piece of cloth?
2 What else do you know about tie-dyeing?
First twist a piece of cloth and tie it with thread.
Then dye the material and when it is dry, untie it.
The core principle is resist-dyeing, where tied sections block the dye. Traditionally, vibrant colors came from natural sources like indigo plants. Modern tie-dye exploded in the 1960s Western counterculture as a symbol of individuality and peace.
Today, it's both a traditional craft preserved in places like Yunnan and a popular DIY project. Innovations like ice-dyeing create new effects, and it frequently appears in high fashion, proving this ancient art form is endlessly adaptable.
