About this Course

This workshop combines two techniques: shibori and natural dyeing with plants. Shibori (絞 り) is a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique, which produces a number of different patterns on fabric. Learn basic ways of tying, pinching and folding fabrics using rubber bands, clamps, pegs, and string, to create a one-of-a-kind cotton bandana. Explore the beauty of natural colour using plants and learn how to extract pigments to make a dye bath to dye your own shibori-bandana. All supplies included. Textile artist: Fernanda Mascarenhas.
