Step into the world of indigo with fiber artist Tamara Darnell Long in this beginner-friendly Shibori dye workshop. Shibori is a resist dyeing technique that originated in Japan in the 8th century, known for its intricate patterns and rich cultural roots. In this hands-on class, you'll learn the basics of folding, clamping, tying, dipping, and dyeing fabric using beautiful indigo dye.
Together, we’ll create two tea towels (tenuis), but the techniques you learn can be applied to future textile or even paper projects. You'll also leave with fresh ideas for how to use your finished towels beyond the kitchen—think gifts, wall hangings, or functional art.
This workshop is designed to help you explore something new, expand your creative knowledge, and unwind as you work. No experience is necessary—just come ready to experiment and have fun. The only challenge? Deciding what to make next!
