Amazing people, super friendly. Loved the designs, went there on a day trip down from the East Bay with my fiancé and her father. He’s an older gentlemen who loves counterculture so he felt right at home just as we did! Picked up a beautiful heart charm and Dead pin and was sent off with a wholesome good bye!

We had the best time here. Jeremy is wonderful. Its a real experience. And, our tie dye came out beautifully. I highly recommend this experience and will be back. Super fun!

This place is so awesome and Jeremy is super nice. We did a birthday party here and the kids loved it so much the learned how to do various types of Tie-dye which they all were super excited to do. I would highly recommend this place it’s completely unique and very Santa Cruz! Love this town!

Great family and visitor place for creating one of a kind souvenir s. If youre in town for more than a day, visit Jeremys shop. This is THE place for locals to take visitors. Low-key, very fun a d success oriented activity. Do not miss this place

This is the total Santa Cruz Experience, Tie dyes, crystals and the Grateful dead. The owner Jeremy is full of incredible stories of his journeys with the Grateful Dead and he is incredible with children, making this the best place to bring the family to hand make your own tie dye items, clothes, socks, sheets, blankets, dresses for women and children and your pets.

My 7 year old enjoyed learning the process and making his own Tie Dye shirt. The owner was very patient and took time to explain each step.

A gentle journey back in time and mindset. A place to put today’s hectic daze on hold and to visit a place called “What might have been”.

My family and I got together for a fun and creative afternoon. We tyedyed several shirts, three dresses and some socks. All are beautiful and unique and will be a nice reminder of our family tie together.

Got so many goodies here! I love this shop and owner! Please stop by! I live in Washington and this is the BEST SHOP! Wish i was closer to shop all the time! Love love LOVE THIS SHOP

We recent brought our four year old son to your create a tie dye t-shirt at A Brighter World for the first time. We had no idea how to create a tie dye t-shirt on our own. However, Jeremy, walked us through every step. He was extremely friendly and truly made my son feel comfortable. My son had a great time making his very own tie dye t-shirt. My son said his tie dye t-shirt is his favorite shirt. I would highly recommend A Brighter World to any one who loves tie dye! Thanks for an awesome experience, Jeremy!

Been buying dyes from J for well over 20 years. Somehow hes able to make them so that even after years of wearing and washing (yes Washing! Not all hippies are dirty!) the colors stay strong! One of the best Tie Dye artists ever! He even makes very uncommon things upon request.Its awesome to be able to buy the best dyes from a Grateful Dead concert parking lot 20+ years after the real tour ended. ;-(Highly recommend brightening up your world with Tie Dyes from A Brighter World whether youre in Santa Cruz or Calling the store and placing a phone order. If youre in Santa Cruz, spending time in the studio with instruction or even just a little direction is something everyone should experience!Thank you for keeping the Colors Alive and Bright!!! Peace Always!!!!!

This place is awesome!! Super welcoming and nice. The owner played peek a boo with our daughter while we looked around. We will definitely be back!

Honestly some of the best hand made tie dye Ive ever seen. Creating your own designs is super fun too! Definitely check this place out.

My partner and I found A Brighter World whilst looking for tie dye shirts in SC and also something to do that afternoon, we definitely came to the right place! Jeremy is a top dude and walked us through the process, sharing his knowledge and skills whilst also making it fun. We were both really happy with our end results, they look amazing! A great way to spend some time if visiting SC and suitable for all ages!

So much fun making my own tie dye in the studio!

Very waldorfian
