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 and various natural dyes, including tea, onion skins, madder, mangrove root, gardenia and iron, to produce an array of colours.
Anne will teach you how to use an Indigo vat to create beautiful blue and white Shibori designs or experiment with over-dyeing your naturally dyed pieces.
