Brief lecture on Shibori type of techniques and options. Discussing layering, binding, stitching, puckering vs folding and what to expect. The last part of class is showing the dyeing in a more traditional Shibori fashion and how you must layer the dyes. Explaining options to the tying and binding and showing you cool techniques.
Brief lecture on Tie dye et al... Students will learn how to bind in a more traditional tie dye fashion. There are ways to recreate shapes by scrunching, fold silk and create ornate Mandalas, Spirals and more. This is one of my favorite parts of Nabori but also one of the most challenging.
I'll be at Stitches Midwest, stay tuned for classes.
