Programm

In September 2016, Nanna received private lessons in Nagoya from shibori-sensei (teacher / expert) who mastered over a hundred techniques of shibori dyeing. In this course, which requires no prior knowledge, we practice the shibori reserve dyeing methods (itajime) and the embroidery (ori-nui) with white cotton. The white original color is obtained after the dyeing process only at the points of the folded fabric, which are clamped between two wooden blocks. Simple folding creates amazing patterns!

In the second technique (photo on the right), the fabric is prepared with pre-priming before dyeing. Typical Japanese pattern can be created or produced creative designs "free-hand". Before the practical exercises, an introduction will explain the history of shibori art in Japan. All practical steps will be first explained with by means of diagrams. There is enough time for your own creative implementation.

Please bring along (if available): Small fabric scissors, larger pointed needles, white cotton fabric and crochet yarn.
