Workshop Shibori

Learn the secrets of the wonderful Japanese practice of shibori, in which a wide range of techniques are used to fold, bind and/or stitch cloth. These create unique and stunning patterns on textile when dyed. Beginner level, age 16 upwards. 

Class 10:30 - 1:30pm

Local textile artist Maggie Pearson will guide you through creating samples using various shibori techniques. You will then manipulate and dye a larger piece[s] of cloth which you can later repurpose into a bag, wall art, cushion cover...Blue colour only on the day. 

You will leave the workshop with some beautiful pieces of cloth in your own original deep blue designs, and armed with a wealth of knowledge to build on at home.

If you have clothing such as tee shirts that you’d like to upcycled and refresh, or table linen, then bring them with you to get Maggie’s experienced advice on how to prepare and dye them.
