Nabori Silk Dyeing!
Join us for this SPECIAL recorded SESSION of classes where you’re taught to create gorgeous hand dyed fabrics and scarves. Dyed in the style of Shibori, Nabori is my own way of creating amazing works of art with a series of binding, tying, folding and then dyeing. This is one of the most popular classes offered by Redding Method and is a hit with students all over the country.
“Nabori was a BLAST! I’ve never taken a class like it. I’m a knitter and a quilter and I can see ways to incorporate my dyed silk into all aspects of my fiber arts. I love the way Natalie teaches and I’ve never learned so much. THANK YOU!” Gail; Stitches 2018
There are 3 total classes with times and the syllabus below. This is a great class where you can learn to create your own intricate fabrics. You’ll create works of art you never knew possible. See the photo carousel below to check out some of the prints created in the style of Nabori. While classes are normally taught live, this session will is recorded with a live study session with viewing of the videos extended from one week after the last class ends, to two weeks after the last class ends. On July 20th at 1:30 pm PDT classes will no longer be available to be viewed and will be deleted. To enroll, please go to the Enroll page and scroll down until you see the Nabori section.
