In this weekend workshop, you get to learn and experiment with a wide range of shibori dyeing techniques. Teaching artist Kristine Berg is your guide as you explore this centuries-old Japanese art of dyeing cotton, silk, linen, rayon, velvet — even T-shirts and lightweight garments. All levels, beginner to advanced, are welcome.
Shibori is a general term for numerous methods of resist dyeing to create fascinating and unique designs. In these two sessions you will learn compression, folding and stitching techniques, and you'll get to experiment with a variety of methods — which may then inspire you to try them out with alternative dyes and garments.
