Shibori is a Japanese resist dyeing technique producing geometric and organic patterns on cloth. The process includes folding, binding, compressing, twisting, tying, and bunching fabric to create patterns that spread across the fabric. Examples of Shibori dyeing can be found as far back as the Nara period (AD 710 - 784).
Roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, get ready to have fun creating your own hand dyed fabric. Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting stained.
