In this 3 day workshop we will explore the in depth processes of scouring a shibori pattern into a 2 yard piece of silk shantung organza. We will dye the piece, do a second shibori, discharge it and then do a final over dye. 6 processes on one fabric.
The Shibori we will be working with are:
Itajime Shibori (Fold and Clamp).
Arashi Shibori (Pole Wrap)
Tesuji Shibori (Pleating and binding)
Stitched Shibori such as Mokume, Ori Nui, and Maki-Nui.
Please be thinking about which 2 shibori you are interested in and bring the proper equipment for it.
