Shibori and Indigo Dyeing Workshop
Sat, Jan 22 or Sun, 23 from 1 to 4 pm
Shibori, derived from the Japanese word “shiboru” which means to wring, squeeze or press, is an ancient technique of resist dyeing. While there are many traditional techniques such as knotting, stitching, pole wrapping, or clamping that create different patterns, the Indigo dyeing of natural fabrics creates distinctive deep blue and white products that are uniquely Japanese.
Workshop Fee: $30 covers the dye, tools and 1 tea towel. Participants are welcome to bring 1 additional item (pillow case, tshirt, pair of socks) or up to 1 yard of cotton fabric to work with. Sign up early for this hands-on workshop and experiment with creating your own one-of-a-kind design. RSVP to jill@j-sei.org, indicate “Shibori” in memo with preferred date. WORKSHOP IS NOW CLOSED. Please RSVP for Waiting List.
The workshop has been rescheduled for Sat, March 19 & Sun, March 20.
