Shibori

Saturday, July 11, 2009
10am - 3pm

Community Art School Studio Classroom - Arnold P. Rosen Family Education Wing

Facilitator: Dr. Janet Montgomery

Japanese textiles have a long and varied history of surface design. One of the most interesting is shibori, a method of twisting and tying tiny circles or other shapes into the fabric before dyeing it. In this workshop we will experiment with shibori-style dyeing to create a scarf or wall hanging. For those who attended the shibori dyeing workshop last summer, we will continue to explore the traditional methods of kanoko (bound), nui (stitched), kumo (spider pattern) and arashi (storm pattern).

Beginners are encouraged to attend, dying silk lengths.

This event is presented as part of the Programs for Teens and Adults program.

Cost:

$40 for TCVA members

$55 for non-members

Minimum enrollment of ten (10).
