PAST WORKSHOPS
SHIBORI WORKSHOP – April 2025
It’s All About the Circle
In this three (3) day workshop introducing you to the Ancient Japanese art form of Shibori. Shibori is referred to as “Squeeze” in Japan. Shibori comes from the verb “shiboru” which means “to wring, squeeze and press” in Japanese. It is a dye resist process of stitching, folding and clamping, wrapping fabric around a pole, plaiting, etc.
We will explore several Shibori techniques that utilize needle and thread and possibly poles. These techniques will inform your continued exploration of Shibori and open your eyes to the world of this ancient Japanese art form. By the end of the three days I am sure that you will be in awe of what you have created – beautiful 3-D patterns on fabric.
My goal and my purpose is to share my knowledge and experience of Shibori. As we are probably all facing difficult times financially I have decided to reduce the cost of this workshop. I have also reduced the number of hours but continue to provide all fabric and dyes. You will have a minimal supply list. I hope this will make it possible for you to join this workshop. Please see the changes below.
