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.

The GardensArt program exists to bring artwork into public facilities within the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The award-winning program just celebrated its 34th anniversary and can boast the exhibition experience has been very positive for over 500 artists that have participated since 1989. GardensArt gives working artists an opportunity to showcase their artwork and share it with those who typically do not visit art galleries.

The City of Palm Beach Gardens is currently offering solo art exhibitions in three varied venues: Palm Beach Gardens City Hall Lobby, Sandhill Crane Golf Clubhouse, and Tennis & Pickleball Center. The program is all about exposure and having artwork displayed in the community. The City of Palm Beach Gardens supports the exhibition with a reception, publicity on our website, printed brochures, e-newsletters, press releases and postings to social media.
