Description
Shibori has its origins in Japan and involves folding, pleating and scrunching fabric using thread and clips to create beautiful patterns after dyeing. In this workshop you will learn three different stitch resist techniques and a clamp technique using a fat quarter of cotton fabric. The workshop focuses on these four very different techniques and you will dye your fabrics at home after the workshop. You will get a demonstration of how to put your fabrics into a jar or plastic bag before dyeing them a traditional navy blue.
The kit that you will receive through the post will have a fat quarter of white cotton fabric, white perlé 8 thread with a chenille needle, plastic clips and full written instructions and a pack of blue dye with a pack of soda ash and salt.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THIS KIT HAVING DYE POWDERS I AM UNABLE TO POST THIS OVERSEAS.
For this workshop you will need an erasable marking pencil and a basic sewing kit.
