Break out of the indigo-only box and learn to clamp, bind, fold, or twist fabric to achieve dozens of variations on traditional Shibori patterns. Because we are using easy, effective, low-impact fiber reactive dyes, you can create any color you want! This will be an immersion-bath class, where we will submerge our projects in an activated dye bath and take them home in bags to wash out 24-48 hours later. Experiment with a traditional one-color effect or go crazy with multicolor projects. Class will give you time to make multiple smaller projects (napkins, fat quarters) or 1-2 larger projects (yardage, aprons, garments). These dyes work on plant fibers, so think cotton, linen, rayon, bamboo, hemp, etc. Everything is provided except whatever you want to dye. Dyeable t-shirts and assorted other garments will be available for purchase.
Please bring an apron to wear, comfy shoes for standing, plus a mask if you feel you may be sensitive to dye powders. Bring whatever you want to dye! Light or mid-weight fabrics are easier than thicker ones – think t-shirts, blouses, aprons, socks, quilting cotton, etc. Class price includes materials fee.
