Event Details

In this workshop, learn how to use dye sublimation. Participants will make a small project to take home. All materials for the project will be provided. 

Dye sublimation is a digital printing process that uses heat and pressure to put ink into a product instead of on it. It utilizes a special dye and a molecular bonding process to apply and permanently adhere HD images, graphics and photos to polymers and polyesters at a sub-surface level. 

All ages welcome. Ages 8 and under may need adult assistance. Registration is required. Parents/Guardians who will remain in the room to assist their child need to register.

This workshop is part of the Central IDEA Lab's DIY Cosplay Series in June.

What is Cosplay? The term combines the words "costume" and "play" and is frequently seen at fan conventions, where fans dress up as different characters. Interested in cosplay but don't know where to start? Have you cosplayed before and want to learn new skills? Good news! This DIY Cosplay Series is for you! 

The Central IDEA Lab has put together workshops to help aspiring and current cosplayers learn a variety of making skills using the equipment in the IDEA Lab to create, embellish, or level up their costumes. Attend one of our informational sessions to get inspired and to meet other cosplayers.

Check out all the sessions offered below at the Central IDEA Lab to cosplay your way!
