This is an open invitation from Slow Fiber Studios Annex to celebrate shibori and indigo!
Bring your natural fiber project (no T-shirts or Jeans or anything bulky and heavy) and work alongside Yoshiko I. Wada and Ana Lisa Hedstrom.
Gain firsthand insight on Ana Lisa’s newest DVDs, ARASHI II: New Patterns and Possibilities & Kakishibu Persimmon Tannin: Shibori on Paper and Fabric. Take advantage of casual instruction on how to use tools and materials for shibori techniques and the use and maintenance of natural indigo vats, gain personal feedback and advice from Yoshiko and Ana Lisa, and meet fellow dyers in the area over communal, organic indigo dye vats.
Participants may come and go as they please. The event program is outline below.
