Shibori – an Introduction to the Ancient Japanese Art of Resist Dyeing
Create geometric and organic patterns on fabric using Japanese manual resist dyeing techniques. In Japanese the word Shibori means to wring, or squeeze. It is a technique in which fabric is stitched, folded, twisted, compressed or bound before being dyed in order to create unique patterns on cloth.
In this workshop you will learn traditional methods of stitched and bound resist, and some of the many ways to stitch, bind, fold, twist, wrap or compress cloth for dyeing, creating your very own beautiful patterns on pure cotton fabric.
You will be making several small pieces and one larger piece of your own designed fabric to use for projects, and dye these using Rit dyes.
All materials are supplied. There are also tote bags you can use for a cost of £2 each. Please bring along your sewing kit if you have one and sewing marker pen/pencil, also an apron and clothes/shoes you don’t mind getting dye splashes on.
If you have a design in mind please bring it along, otherwise there will be a selection of ideas to inspire you.
Suitable for ages 14+
There will be a 30 minute lunch break. Lunch is not provided. We have a fridge, microwave and kettle. You are welcome to bring your own food or visit one of the great cafes or takeaways in Seaton.
Jayne is happy to run her sessions with 3 people or more. If less than 3 people book, we will cancel the session. If this happens, we'll offer the people who have booked the class a place on an alternative day, a credit for another workshop or a full refund, whichever they prefer.
