Learn the beautiful and fun technique of INDIGO SHIBORI DYEING! In
this WORKSHOP YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT THE NATURAL DYE INDIGO AND HOW IT
HAS BEEN USED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO DYE FABRIC; you'll learn
different SHIBORI TECHNIQUES TO CREATE DIFFERENT PATTERNS ON FABRIC
AND HAVE THE OPPERTUNITY TO DYE YOUR OWN ITEMS! Guests should bring
two items of their own to dye. These items should be 100% natural
fiber, e.g., t-shirts, tea towels, socks, or pillow cases.
Shibori is an ancient Japanese technique that began around the 8th
century, during the Edo period. The techniques create patterned fabric
either by folding, binding, twisting, threading or compressing fabric.
This creates a resistance where the Indigo dye will not permeate some
of the fabric, thus creating a design.'
