Shibori Indigo Workshop

The use of indigo dye, or aizome, has a long and cherished history in Japan. The deep blue colors for which Japanese textiles are celebrated come from the leaves of the tade ai, a plant introduced to Japan from China in the sixth century. Shibori is a Japanese technique of manual resist dyeing used to make patterns on fabrics. Learn various shibori techniques and get a chance to make your own shibori creation.

In our November and April sessions create a cloth towel for your home or personal use. Come to our December session and make a shibori scarf to add to your wardrobe or for a special someone. In February, cook in style by making your own shibori apron to wear.
