Indigo Shibori with Natural Dyes

Learn the fascinating art of Indigo Shibori, using natural dyes to create crisp and organic patterns on cloth.
You will learn the traditional Shibori techniques of Arashi and Bomaki (pole wrapping), Itajime (Clamping), stitching, binding and wrapping.
After preparing your fabrics, learn how to dye with Indigo, as well as a variety of natural dyes, including tea, onion skins, madder, mangrove root, gardenia and iron to produce an array of colours. In addition, the plant-dyeing process will reveal imprints from an array of flowers and leaves.
You’ll finish the course with a fine collection of scarves, fabric pieces and clothing items.
