This workshop combines two techniques: shibori and natural dyeing with plants. Shibori (絞 り) is a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique, which produces a number of different patterns on fabric. Each participant will learn some basic ways of tying, pinching and folding fabrics using rubber bands, clamps, pegs, and string, to create a one-of-a-kind cotton bandana. The workshop also explores the beauty of natural colour using plants. Teaching how to extract pigments from plants or food waste to make a dye bath, the participant will have a chance to dye their shibori-bandanas in them. There will be 2 or 3 colours of choice, made from plants or food waste available on the occasion such as turmeric, black tea, hibiscus, annatto seeds, marigolds, carrot tops, avocado pitch or onion skins.
