Description:

This workshop weaves together two ancient techniques?shibori and natural dyeing?to create a one-of-a-kind organic cotton bandana. Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique that uses rubber bands, wooden sticks, and string to tie, pinch, and fold the fabric, forming unique patterns. Participants will also explore the magic of colour extraction from plants and everyday food waste, such as onion skins, turmeric, black tea, and madder. All materials are provided.
