Workshop Details

COST: $95, all materials included.   

During this workshop we will play with indigo and silk using shibori techniques i.e. clamping and stitching to resist indigo dye, to make scarf lengths of dyed silk. By lunchtime you will have created your own line of individual silk scarves. Shibori techniques include stitching folds in different directions, giving patterns once the silk is dyed. Clamping and folding the silk between different shapes extends this technique and is a quicker option. It’s an addictive method, watching the indigo dyed fabric morph into a rich blue, as you undo the stitching and clamps is always exciting. I have worked with indigo over many years as part of my art practice using both silk and paper, and it never gets old.
