Join us for an afternoon of indigo dyeing and Shibori exploration with artist Holly Chang.
The word Shibori comes from the Japanese verb shiboru, meaning "to wring, squeeze, or press" — reflecting the process of manipulating fabric to resist dye penetration.
In this half-day workshop, you’ll learn how to prep the indigo vat and dye bandannas, totes, and cotton tapestries using techniques like:
🔵 Arashi Shibori (pole-wrapping)
🔵 Itajime Shibori (shape-resist/clamp dyeing)
🔵 Suji Shibori (twist resist)
You’re also encouraged to bring your own natural fiber pieces to dye, such as pillowcases, shirts, or bags. Materials must be cotton, linen, wool, hemp, or silk.
We'll break for snacks and sips, provided by Grazing in Grey.
All dyed pieces are best left to dry for 24 hours.
You’ll take your creations home the same day, along with guidance on how to unfold and reveal your final designs once dry.
