SHIBORI WORKSHOP: TRICKS WITH POLES AND ROPES AND BLOCKS

Hinode

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 poles and ropes as well as some .  stitched patterns.   These techniques will either inform your continued exploration of Shibori or 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.

            We will be using an indigo vat. 

Some techniques: Spider and Willow (Yanagi); Tesuji; Angel Wings (Hagoromo); Hinode
