Shibori is a Japanese tie dye technique dating back to the 8th century. Fabric bundled by stitching, clamping, or binding with twine yields distinctly beautiful patterns when dyed. The uneven lines created by this method are a visual representation of the Japanese belief in the beauty of imperfection. Indigo is the natural plant dye our denim jeans are dyed with. Each student will have the opportunity to dye approximately 1.5 yards of fabric, so collect some items such as a cotton t-shirt, vintage lace, and linens. Fabric to dye must be of natural fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp, viscose, rayon, or silk and works best if prewashed, Students may also use napkins and kitchen towels that will be provided, as well as silk scarves you may purchase directly from the instructor ( ranging approximately $6-$12).
