Join us for Modern Shibori Dyeing with Kilikina.
Make four distinctive dishcloths using Japanese shibori resist dying techniques. Although traditional shibori was done with indigo, modern shibori uses colors and other types of dye. The Japanese shibori techniques that students will experiment with are itajime (clamping and binding), makiage (stitching and binding), arashi (pole wrapping), and mokume (woodgrain stitch). Students will color the fabric in class. The dishcloths need to sit at least 24 hours in a ziplock bag for best results. Students will rinse, wash and dry out their finished tie dyed pieces at home.
There will be an additional supply fee of $30 payable to the instructor on the day of class. The supply fee includes: Soaking solution, fiber reactive dyes (various colors), sinew (waxed string), 2 pairs disposable plastic gloves, and 4 flour sack dishcloths (24” x24”). Please do not bring additional items to dye at this session, we will only be dyeing the provided dishcloths.

- $30 supply fee
- Rubber dishwashing gloves (1 pair)
- Small scissors
- 4 quart or gallon Ziploc bags
