Shibori Indigo Dyeing (Level 1)

Winchester artist, Kiyomi Yatsuhashi will lead this one-day workshop on the Japanese craft of shibori and indigo dyeing. She will start with a brief introduction to Japanese textile resist dyeing. Demonstrations and practice will include shibori resist techniques such as binding, folding, wrapping, and clamping to create dyed patterns. You'll bring home indigo dyed unfinished cotton pieces that can be used for a quilt, wall hanging, table scarf, or napkin. Included in the workshop is one small finished scarf or bandana. All materials are included in this special one-day workshop. Limited to eight participants. NOTES: Materials Fee of $25 is included in the tuition fee and covers the cost of indigo dyes, tools, and fabric. Optional: natural fiber scarves (cotton, silk, wool), cotton bandanas, and kitchen towels & napkins will be available for purchase on the day of the workshop for anyone who would like to apply the shibori techniques to these items. Indigo dye will stain your clothing and shoes. We will provide aprons and gloves, but please dress for a mess and choose your shoes and clothing accordingly. https://www.instagram.com/kiyomi.yatsuhashi/
