About this event
Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Saturday, July 15, 2023.
Shibori is a Japanese dyeing technique that involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo. Whatever is used to bind the fabric will resist the dye, resulting in areas of the cloth that take the distinctive blue dye in patterns created by the resistance, with other areas of the cloth remaining white. The technique used in shibori depends not only on the desired pattern, but the characteristics of the cloth being dyed. Please bring rubber gloves. All other supplies included in fee. Instructor: Ellen Miffitt
Class date change to July 15. Please bring latex or plastic gloves, plastic bag to carry the projects home. Optional white cotton t-shirt [pre-washed]
