Sunday, June 15, from 3 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Come and explore the gorgeous natural blue of indigo in this Fiber Fest Sunday workshop. Students will learn a range of shibori dye resist processes in this hands-on, creative workshop, including tegumo (spiderweb), ori nui (stitched), and itajime (clamped) shibori methods. We will be using a natural indigo vat to dye a bamboo scarf and better understand the process and symbiotic relationship with indigo dye and this traditional textile surface design.
Students will acquire the basic techniques to continue their journey into creating beautiful, unique textiles.
This class is appropriate for ages 14+ years old.
No prior experience necessary. All ages welcome!
All materials included.
