 🥰 If Hallmark Made Tie-Dye: Captain Drips Studio's Love Story

 👩‍🎨 Sometimes The Most Vibrant Dreams Start With An Unexpected Turn...

Like your favorite romance movie, this story begins on a school bus in upstate New York, where two free spirited kids found each other just a mile apart. Holly and Matty Hilts' tale of friendship-turned-love now flourishes in Old Colorado City at Captain Drips Tie Dye Studio – proving some of the best stories come with a splash of color.

When life threw them a curveball with a flooded basement, they saw opportunity blooming. That space became their first studio, where years of hosting artistic tie-dye gatherings evolved into something bigger. While balancing their careers, they've transformed their passion into a welcoming haven at 2215 West Colorado Ave, where everyday moments become wearable art.

Curious about their name and logo? Thank the Grateful Dead's, Jerry Garcia and his "Captain Trips" nickname. 💀

Though they help you create stunning designs year-round, Holly and Matty’s eyes light up when it snows – that's when they craft their signature Rocky Mountain snow-dyed pieces, infusing a touch of Colorado magic to your creation.

Ready to add some color to your life? Schedule your session online, and Holly and Matty will prepare everything for your arrival.

As a special thank you to our readers, mention this article to receive a FREE matching bandana – perfect for completing your unique design!

So, gather your friends, family, or treat yourself to a creative adventure and have lots of fun! Captain Drips is more than just a studio; it's a place where memories are made, one vibrant design at a time.
