Description
Shibori is a Japanese dyeing technique that involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo. Whatever is used to bind the fabric will resist the dye, resulting in areas of the cloth that take the distinctive blue dye in patterns created by the resistance, with other areas of the cloth remaining white. The technique used in shibori depends not only on the desired pattern, but the characteristics of the cloth being dyed. Most supplies included in the fee. Please bring latex or plastic gloves and a plastic bag to carry the project home. Instructor: Ellen Miffitt
Please bring latex or plastic gloves, plastic bag to carry the projects home. You can also bring a prewashed white cotton t-shirt, if desired.
