Shibori & Indigo Dyeing Workshop

May 18th

10:00 am to 01:00 pmMakerSphere Woodshop, 327 US Route 2, Waterbury VT 05676

Let’s gather to learn the art of Shibori & Indigo dye!

In this workshop, we’ll experiment with the different techniques of Shibori (a Japanese dye technique where fabric is folded, twisted, and bound to create patterns before being dipped into dye) to create unique patterns and shades of Indigo blue. The binds in the fabric will resist the dye, creating beautiful and interesting patterns with different shades of blue. There are endless ways to do Shibori, and in this workshop you’ll get to explore and play with the techniques that inspire you. You’ll discover that you can use the technique to dye anything from clothing and accessories to home items.

Two white cotton floursack towels will be supplied for everyone to experiment with, and feel free to bring your own dye-ables from home!
