Shibori: Shaped Resist Dyeing with Susanne Williamson.
Shibori is an inventive art, originating in Japan and involving patterns created on fabrics using folding, stitching and pole wrapping. This workshop is an exploration of Shibori vat dyeing techniques using cotton dyes and the bleach back shadow technique. Participants will practice with fabric samples, culminating with making a scarf and apron. Suitable for absolute beginners and those wishing to build on previous fabric and textile experience.
