Saturdays, Oct 10, 2-5pm & Oct 17, 3-5pm
Beginners and more advanced dyers welcome! Ages 12+ years! Join us for a fun, hands‑on Natural Indigo Dyeing Shibori class with Instructor Sarah Winston.

This 2‑day class emphasizes process over final outcomes, encouraging students to enjoy the journey of making—discovering the pleasure and satisfaction that comes from using one’s hands and eyes, building skills, and developing a thoughtful, flexible creative mind. Each student will dip their projects in a natural indigo vat to achieve the classic blue hue.

Across the two days, Sarah will teach two dye‑resist techniques while students work on a bamboo scarf and a cotton scarf.

On Day 1, students will learn and practice Ori‑nui shibori (stitch resist), a more intricate method where motifs are drawn and stitched with a simple running stitch. After dipping the textiles in indigo, the thread is pulled tight and the fabric is dyed. Once unstitched, the motifs reveal wondrous images and designs.
On Day 2, students will explore Itajime shibori (shape resist), a playful technique where fabric is folded and pressed between shaped blocks. When unfolded, the fabric reveals beautiful kaleidoscopic designs.
This class is an excellent opportunity for complete beginners as well as more advanced students who want to delve deeper into indigo dyeing with resist techniques.

Ages 12+ years old.
All materials included.
• Military, first responder discounts.
