January 7 10am – 3pm Shibori I
Shibori is a group of techniques involving methods of shaping and binding cloth to resist dye. The designs created by shibori processes all share a softness of outline and a spontaneity of effect. The magic and mystery of shibori will be explored in this workshop. You will be introduced to traditional Japanese shibori techniques of stitching, knotting, and pole-wrapping. You will be able to complete several samples with vat dyeing.
$95.00 plus $15.00 materials fee.
If you have already completed this class, you can use this class to prepare and dye pieces that you will layer further techniques on and overdye on Sunday.

January 8 10am – 3pm Shibori II
Supplementing the processes introduced in the first class you will learn clamping, Tesuji, how to reserve areas with capping, and how to layer techniques, all adding more depth to your composition. You will also pour dye and then vat dye.
$95.00 plus $15.00 materials fee.
