In this online version of another Workshop favorite, learn the beautiful and ancient Japanese resist-dyeing technique known as Shibori. First, you will pre-mix your own natural indigo vat at home with the guidance of a pre-recorded video. Then, during the live session, you will dive into the possibilities of the patterns of shibori techniques on natural fibers to create your own beautiful, unique indigo pieces. This is the perfect technique to breathe new life into your closet or old textiles you have at home! You will also learn about vat care, upkeep, and maintenance.
How to attend this online class: This class will be taught via Zoom video call. You may download Zoom for your desktop or mobile device here. You will also need an internet connection strong enough to stream audio and video. After you register for this class, we will email you a link with details on how to join.
Supplies Needed: For this class, you will need one of Instructor Kristin Arzt’s *INSTANT* NATURAL INDIGO + SHIBORI KITS, which is already included in the price of the ticket. Each kit includes:
- All natural indigo vat ingredients in a glass jar. (You will add hot water to produce your natural vat!)
- A step-by-step guide outlining mixing your vat, best dyeing practices, and how to wash your dyed fabric.
- Various wooden shapes to create shibori patterns.
- Two 22" X 22" cotton bandanas
Here is what is NOT included in the kit, and you will need to pick up at any hardware store:
- 5-gallon bucket with lid
- A stirring stick that is about 2.5-3 feet long. (We recommend a wooden dowel from the hardware store, but you could also a thick tree branch or very long spoon.)
- gloves
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to pre-mix your vat of indigo dye ONE DAY prior to class. You will receive instructions on this easy setup process via email once you sign up.
