The term “shibori” comes from the Japanese “shiboru,” meaning “twisted and pressed”. Designs are created by folding, binding, and compressing fabric before submerging it in dye. The manipulation of the fabric from the 2-D plane into a 3-D form prevents the dye from penetrating the internal parts of the fabric clump, yielding organic and geometric patterns. Students will learn about the indigo dyeing process and will use a mix of traditional and modern shibori methods to create samples to take home. Students are also welcome to bring their own natural fiber garments/fabric to dye. Materials Fee of $30 is included in the tuition fee. It covers dyes, equipment, and fabric. Registered students will receive an email with details and logistics at least one day prior to the workshop. Special Notes & Supplies:
* Please bring your own pair of long rubber dish gloves. Plastic bags for wet fabric will be available, but please consider bringing your own recycled/reusable ones. Indigo dye likes to drip and will stain, so wear appropriate shoes and clothing. If you bring your own fabric/garments to dye, please wash them on the hottest setting to prepare them for taking on dye.
