You will be working with a real indigo dye vat, not a synthetic dye vat. Creating a deep rich indigo and a lasting, quality finish to your design. This is a beginner-friendly class so you'll be set up for success and guided through the process by your friendly teacher.
Shibori is an ancient Japanese art form where a piece of fabric is folded, twisted or bunched and then tightly sewn or bound with thread. The threading is done in such a dense fashion that it acts as a resist when the fabric is dyed, producing a pattern of dyed and undyed material once all the thread is removed. In Japan, these techniques have been practiced and improved upon for over 1300 years.
In one of the most labour-intensive and intricate forms of shibori, extremely small sections of fabric (usually silk) are pinched between the fingers of one hand and then tightly wound with thread with the other hand. The trick is to wind the thread so tightly that no dye can penetrate, and then leave a tiny bead of fabric exposed at the tip which will take on the dye.
