In this beginner friendly workshop, you’ll learn the ancient art of Shibori, a Japanese manual hand-dyeing technique which produces beautiful patterns in fabric in a range of blues using Indigo dye. Create fabulous wearables for yourself or to give as gifts. Four different patterns will be taught - you’ll choose two techniques to prep your fabrics. Students will spend time manipulating fabric to create patterns before soaking. We’ll then submerge the prepped fabric multiple times in the dye vat before rinsing thoroughly and hanging to dry. You'll be sure to "ooh and aah" over your results. Come see why everyone loves Shibori! Tuition includes materials fee. Dress for mess as the dye stains permanently.
