#WeAreFourForest #FourForestZugSpotlight 🎨 Ice Dye T-Shirts in Grade 6 🧊👕
Grade 6 students at Four Forest Zug got creative with colour in TTG, using an exciting technique called ice dyeing. Ice is placed on top of fabric, then sprinkled with colour pigments. As the ice melts, the pigments dissolve and flow across the fabric, creating stunning patterns and gradients.
The results were as unique as each student. A big thank you to our teachers for making this hands-on learning experience so fun and meaningful!
This is Four Forest Zug! Where creativity, collaboration and curiosity thrive.

#WeAreFourForest #FourForestZugSpotlight 🎨 Ice Dye T-Shirts in der 6. Klasse 🧊👕
Die 6. Klasse an der Four Forest Zug hat im TTG-Unterricht ihre kreative Seite gezeigt – mit einer spannenden Technik namens Ice Dye. Dabei wird Eis auf den Stoff gelegt und mit Farbpulver bestreut. Wenn das Eis schmilzt, fließen die Farben über den Stoff und erzeugen einzigartige Muster und Farbverläufe.
Jedes T-Shirt wurde zu einem ganz persönlichen Kunstwerk. Vielen Dank an unsere Lehrpersonen für die tolle Begleitung dieses kreativen Lernprojekts.
Das ist Four Forest Zug! Ein Ort, an dem Kreativität, Zusammenarbeit und Neugier gedeihen.
