About:     

We are very excited to be having Shuji & Alison from Wabi Sabi come back this year to teach at our new premises! And we saw how absolutely obsessed everyone was in the last workshop, we booked a longer workshop this time round, so book your spot early!

Experience the magic of shibori (Japanese resist-dyeing) using Japanese indigo. Participants will learn how indigo dye is made in Japan and ten or more shibori techniques.  You will also learn what you can make in your future projects (bags,quilt tops, clothing) with indigo dyed materials. In the process of creating scarves and two metres of fabric for you to use in projects, you will explore as many of these techniques as you wish and amaze yourself with what is possible in this very accessible craft.
NO REQUIREMENTS LIST
Just walk into class and enjoy the dyeing.  People will have access to natural indigo vats, aprons, gloves and resists (clamps, wood resists, PVC pipes, marbles, rubber bands, Arimatsu shibori threads, needles and scissors).  
We recommend participants to wear old clothes and shoes in case of splashes. 
Kit includes:
  • 1 x cotton handkerchief (45cm square)
  • 2 x soft sarashi cotton scarf (36cm x 160cm)
  • 1 x linen scarf (45cm x 200cm)
  • 2 metres of PFD (Prepared For Dyeing/100% cotton) fabric

Want to Bring Your Own fabrics?
Please note that participants cannot bring their own materials for dyeing as we cannot guarantee the result and it is not fair to the people who do not bring them.  There will be extra kits and dye available for sale at the workshop for people who wish to dye later at home(dye pack $100 - dye kit $150). 
However, they may dye some samples on site for testing purposes towards the end of the workshop.
