Shibori and Indigo Dyeing
by Elaine on Aug.31, 2012, under Blog Posts
This was the first summer to introduce a new dye workshop: Shibori and Indigo Dyeing. It was two days. The first day we met at the Bradley Centre in Coombs where each participant stitched, folded, clamped and scrunched their cotton and linen fabrics. The second day was at Elaine’s studio in Errington where we made our indigo vats and proceeded to dye our fabrics. Here are the results of the two days:
Four silk scarves
Melody's tied piece

clothesline display of finished products
an ambitious duvet cover
oxidizing and drying

This was a very exhilarating workshop, if you are interested in taking part next year, please let me know.

Hi Elaine
I would be interested in taking part in the Shibori and Indigo Dyeing if you have a workshop next year! It looks really interesting! Also, I am reading about your growing cotton…that is really neat..I wonder if the bolls will get any bigger?
