Beginners Indigo Shibori Workshop
ONE DAY WORKSHOP
Textiles TIMES 10am - 5pm TUTOR Sharon Cornthwaite ― Come and learn the art of dyeing in an Indigo Vat. You will learn a Japanese method of stitching and folding called, Shibori, how to create and maintain an Indigo dyeing vat, fibre preparation, safety and more. Working with traditional Japanese Shibori techniques you will create unique and interesting designs on fabric samples. You will then use your preferred Shibori method on a length of cotton fabric which you can turn into a scarf, wall hanging etc. You are encouraged to bring along clothes or fabrics you have to add to the vat, eg, t-shirts, tea towels, small lengths of fabric or yarn etc. Recycling is encouraged and we recommend pre-washing your items to remove any finish that may be on the fibres. This helps the dye 'stick' to the fibre. Natural fibres only (cotton, silk, linen, wool etc) and light in colour. No previous experience necessary. $80 per person, all materials, tools and equipment supplied, including morning tea |
