Description: Participants will experience the joy of Nui Shibori (Stitched Shibori). Stitching on either handwoven or purchased fabric, the student will learn as many shibori techniques as can be stitched and dyed in two days! This class is meant to be a beginner’s class, where we create samplers with several shibori techniques. Finished artwork will be shown. as examples of items one can create with their shibori work. The first day we will stitch our samplers, the second day they will be dyed using fiber reactive dyes. Students will then remove the stitching, dry the samplers and enjoy each other’s creative work.
