Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm not experienced enough to be an expert giving a class. Just get some supplies, sit down together, and try it out. I'm sure your work will be gorgeous.
I totally echo this! Everyone could bring their own supplies, and some fabric to practice on, and just experiment together. You don't have to wait hours for the fabric medium to dry- I've put a light fabric over it and dried it with an iron if I was in a hurry, but if you don't soak it heavy, the fabric medium will be dry on it's own in 10 minutes.

The only thing I will say that is different from what was mentioned before is that I have washed my project immediately after finishing it, and heat setting the fabric medium so the project was fully dry, and the none of the color washed away. With other set methods, it may need 24 hours.
sgardner, I've also done what you described above and with the same results. The aloe vera gel seems to dry in about 6 minutes.
