Looking for unique things to do in Newcastle? Learn the art of shibori and indigo dyeing in this fun and relaxing workshop!
In this small group workshop, we will explore Japanese shibori techniques. Shibori dyeing is a way of making patterns on fabric by exposing only some portions of the fabric to dye. Tie, pinch, fold, concertina, clamp and stitch your fabric, then dye it.
This workshop is a great opportunity to enjoy handmade processes and have fun learning how to continue these traditional crafts.
Feel free to bring any small fabrics that you want to dye (preferably cotton), however, you will be provided with a silk scarf to dye and all the materials and equipment needed.
At the end of the hands-on workshop, you'll have your own hand-dyed pieces and all the skills to continue this fun craft at home!

I run etching, lino print and textile workshops on a regular basis. All groups are small and relaxed with a focus on having fun while learning how to create your own original artworks. No experience is necessary to join the courses and beginners are very welcome.
I have been teaching for a number of years, having studied art at Sydney College of the Arts (Sydney University) and the College of Fine Arts (University of NSW).
