Stitched Shibori Dyeing

Explore traditional Japanese methods of folding, binding, and stitching while dying fabric with raw indigo. Shibori dyeing is a centuries-old Japanese technique of binding fabric in various ways before dyeing to create areas that remain unexposed to the dye. The result is beautiful, deep indigo blue patterns. There are many different techniques used in binding, including Japanese sashiko stitching, each producing unique results!

​Explore different stitching techniques, each producing a different pattern, in addition to indigo dyeing, in this class as you create functional works of art. Each student will stitch/dye a tea towel and an 18x18 fabric square. Participants are welcome to bring a lunch. Register online.
