Introduction to Shibori takes a hands-on approach to introduce basic shibori resist techniques and dyeing options, with the objective of providing students with the inspiration and confidence to create at home on their own.


This workshop will be divided into two three-hour sessions over the course of two days. On Friday, students will receive an overview of shibori resist techniques including clamping, folding, wrapping, and stitching. Preparation and dyeing of shibori samples in procion dye baths will occur. On Saturday, students will unwrap and wash samples, and dive into an overview of different dyes and methodologies including discussion of indigo, varieties and preparation methodologies, ideas and sources; natural dyes and mordants; and chemical dyes.


Students will need to bring clothing and/or an apron they don’t mind getting stained.
