Shibori is a Japanese method of resist dying which goes back hundreds of years. Indigo dye is often used to get the distinctive patterns you may recognize in today’s fashion and home décor fabrics.
In this hands-on workshop you will learn the fundamentals of shibori folding and binding techniques to create beautiful patterns on fabric with indigo dye. We will also learn to prepare an indigo vat and how to prepare fabric to dye with scouring techniques. Students can expect to make pillow or napkin sized sample pieces and a cotton scarf. An additional small piece of clothing to upcycle can be brought from home.
Suitable for beginner and intermediate skill levels
PLEASE BRING WITH YOU:
- a pair of new rubber gloves (long dishwashing gloves)
- an old shirt or apron – please wear old clothes
- Optional: (1) item of clothing you wish to upcycle with your new skills (not too large as we will be sharing dye vats)
$250 for two days plus $45 supply fee includes 6 pillow or napkin sample sized fabric pieces, a blank cotton scarf for dying. All fabric will be prepared in advance by the instructor.
