Fabric Arts Workshop/ Shibori: Traditional Japanese Fabric DyingMay 16th, 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique where fabric is folded, bound, stitched, or compressed to create unique patterns, most famously with indigo dye resulting in beautiful blues and whites. Techniques vary from simple pinching (Kanoko) and folding (Itajime) with rubber bands or blocks, tor wrapping around poles (Arashi), all
designed to protect parts of the cloth from dye for intricate, often geometric or organic, designs.
Basic supplies will be provided, if you want to dye a particular item it has to be 100% cotton.
