In this class you will learn Arashi shibori and the use of poles. Pole wrapping is known as ‘Bo-maki’ shibori.

Arashi means ‘storm’ in Japan and these techniques were used to create striped and checked patterns by binding fabric to a pole and pleating it by pushing the fabric down every few turns.
