In this 2-hour class, you will learn how to prepare fabric for dyeing using basic Japanese shibori (similar to tie-dye) binding and stitching techniques, then dye in quick-mix indigo (similar to tie-dye). You'll leave with several small, finished pieces to use as tea towels, pillow covers, patches or incorporated in many other sewing or collage projects. Once you've learned this method, you'll be able to do more at home! All materials are included. Students must know how to thread a needle and sew basic hand sewing stitches to take this class.
This class is great for anyone who wants to experiment and learn the basics of shibori and indigo dyeing and Japanese fabric tying and is aged 16+. If you are looking for a class for someone younger, please see our 1:1 lessons.
