Shibori Classes

Beginner Classes

Shibori is the traditional Japanese method of creating dyed patterns on fabric (think 14” wide pieces used to make Kimonos) There are hundreds of variations and combinations. I offer two different types of beginner class (below). A student can choose either approach in the same class.
Ages: 4th Grade to Adult
12 hours in 3 sessions,
Cost: $175, including materials

Shibori Techniques Beginner Class:
Learn basic shibori techniques by creating up to 18 small samples. Then use your knowledge to do larger projects on your own. We’ll learn Arashi, Clamped Shibori, and Stitched Shibori methods. Samples could be combined later for a quilt or other project.

Shibori Projects Beginner Class:
Make 3 completed Shibori projects while you learn some basic techniques. This is for students who don’t necessarily need to learn a lot of different techniques, and who would prefer to take home finished pieces.
