Indigo Shibori Sampler
Thursday, 19 September 2024
9 am to 5 pm
$55 members
Live, in-person at the Millwood Firehouse on 100 Millwood Road in Millwood, NY 10546
This workshop will focus on creating patterned fabric using traditional Shibori methods, twisting, binding, and clamping fabric and then placing it in an indigo dye bath. In case you want to try simple stitched resists, directions will be emailed upon registration. You will do the stitch work at home and bring the fabric to class where you will gather, knot, and dye the fabric. Due to the nature of the workshop, class size is limited to 14 people.
