Shibori Indigo Dyeing

We will show you how to use the basics of shibori and tie dye to unlock your inner creativity. 

The focus of this class is learning the techniques to achieve the different styles and effects of this beautiful traditional art form and allowing your inner child to come out. This workshop also includes simple Katazome. Katazome is a centuries-old Japanese resist dyeing technique using resist paste which is applied before dye is applied. The resist paste is either stenciled, painted or etched onto the cloth. Katazome is a fantastic way to add more detailed patterns to your fabric. 

Students will receive: 

• Cotton fabric to experiment with. Try all the techniques and ogle over the magic that is created with indigo.

• A white silk scarf to dye with your favorite pattern.

Materials:

• Anything you want to dye (the more the merrier!)

• Comfortable non precious clothes and shoes (A splash of blue should never be sad)

• A smock or apron (just incase)

• Plastic bags to take home anything wet.

• Your imagination!
