About this event

What will I learn?

In this class you will learn basic shibori stitching techniques that provide the perfect introduction to the ancient Japanese craft of sewn Shibori resist dyeing.

Content:– How to tie the quilters knot and the surgeons knot required for all stitched work– How to sew the three basic stitches of shibori:

  • nui (running stitch)
  • ori nui (teeth stitch)
  • maki nui (twist stitch)

– How to combine shibori stitches to create different pattern variations

– How to create Mokume (woodgrain) Shibori

Who is this class for?: Beginner / looking for an introduction to sewn Shibori

Duration: 2 hours

Location: This class is an Online course run using Zoom. You will need a device that can access the internet with a camera and microphone to take this class.

In the class you will prepare your pieces for dyeing and then dye them afterwards at your own convenience. I will explain how to set up an indigo or Dylon dye bath but you will need to buy your own dye to do this.

What do I need to provide myself?

  • Pre-washed calico, cotton or linen fabric
  • Needle - a thinnish long darner works well
  • Strong thread - ideally bonded nylon 60s weight upholstery thread or a strong cotton thread
  • A fabric marker pen and a ruler
  • Small pair of sharp scissors
  • Water sprayer
  • Dye - either an indigo dye kit or a Dylon hand dye and 250g table salt
  • Plastic bucket, stirrer and rubber gloves.
