SHIBORI DYEING
WEEKEND
JANUARY 17 &
18, 2015
SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY
LOS GATOS CA
Last year I had my
first opportunity to offer a shibori day at Lorri Scott's studio up on her
mountaintop near Los Gatos (Santa Cruz area) CA. The artists who experimented with shibori that day were so
excited they didn't want to leave, so I decided to come back for an encore! You
can come for one day or two to explore shibori pattern, color, and design on
several types of silk and also some cellulose fabrics (cotton, rayon, etc.)
There will be a small indigo vat to experiment with if you wish (weather
permitting). My focus will be color, discharge, and overdyeing color upon
color, using shibori patterns of arashi and mokume (pole wrapping), ori nui and
maki nui (stitching), itajime (fold and clamp), tesuji (rope wrap), finger
pleating, and several more. Absolute beginners are welcome, while experienced
shibori artists will be encouraged to dye, discharge, and overdye in order to
layer color and pattern in sophisticated designs. I am really looking forward
to this west coast workshop!
Come for one day
or two! Limit 8 participants per day.
Cost $100 per day
($75 studio teaching fee and $25 for materials and dyes, etc.)
