Intro to Indigo Shibori Techniques

Learn the fascinating art of Shibori dyeing!
Saturday, May 10, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM

In this workshop with artist Connie Ortberg, well explore three different Shibori resistance dyeing techniques; Kumo, Arashi, and Itajme. You will take home three Indigo dyed cotton pieces for your use. The workshop will begin with a brief history of the art of Shibori, followed by a demonstration of the three simple, basic methods of folding, binding, and using twisting methods to create unique patterns on the fabric.

For the class we will use traditional permanent Indigo dyed cotton. Shibori is a truly an amazing art, as every dyed piece is unique in its final pattern. No two will ever be the same. You will love the process of folding fabric, dyeing it, and the unfolding to reveal its unique organic results!
