| Shibori Dyeing Class |
|
Shibori dyeing uses compression of fabric to resist dye penetration, and thus create a wide variety of patterns and textures on cloth. Shibori dyed cloth can be subtle, bold, intricate, or simple, and bears little resemblance to the familiar tie-dye motifs from the 60s! This class will concentrate on introducing students to stitch-resist shibori (nui shibori), with forays into additional shibori methods such as clamped, wrapped, and tied resists. No previous fabric dyeing experience is needed, but the class will cover only the very basics of dyeing with Procion MX dyes. Students will come away from the class with some uniquely beautiful fabrics, and an appreciation for this ancient art that has roots in many cultures from Japan, China, Africa, South America, to name a few! Instructor: Ellen Daley
Date: April 13 & 17
Time: 13th @ 6-8 pm and the 17th @ 11-4
