In this workshop, students will learn the basics of Shibori resist dyeing to create beautiful patterns on fabric with indigo dye. A number of Shibori techniques will be taught including itajime (wood clamping), tesuji (pleating) and arashi (pole wrapping).
The workshop will begin with an overview of patterns and instruction on how to create them. Students will then dye their own samples as well as an oversized cotton scarf in an indigo vat using these techniques to create their own unique designs.
Wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dye on. Aprons are also recommended. All materials included.
