Shibori is the Japanese word for a textile technique in which fabric is stitched or folded, bound and dyed; it is a resist-dye technique. One method of doing this is Arashi Shibori : using a pole on which to wrap the silk, which is then bound with string, and compressed. The process of compressing produces pleats, leaving a linear pattern of lines resembling driving rain – Arashi means ‘storm’ in Japanese. This workshop focuses on arashi shibori technique for silk using the Colorhue dyes. The workshop is project-based; we will be learning the Arashi pole wrapping technique. By the end of this class you will have a beautiful scarf and a shawl. All fabric used for this class will be silk as the colours are luminescent and vivid and the fabric has a wonderful sensuous feel that is delightful, especially for clothing.

The only prerequisite for this class is a willingness to get creative and have some fun! All levels of experience are welcome.
