Classic Shibori Fold and Scrunch
Workshop - Textiles | Available
Shibori is the ancient art of Japanese resist dyeing using indigo. In this workshop, we will learn four different techniques of shibori using four different styles of resist dyeing from folding (Kikko), pole wrapping (Bomaki), binding objects (Kumo), and tying and scrunching (Arashi) to achieve four different patterns. We will be dyeing cotton placemats, so once the dyeing is done, students will be able to show off their work on their place settings! Instructor will break for lunch. All supplies included. Ages 14 and up.
