Textile Shibori Designs with Ann Bianchi
Saturday, March 21 10:00AM–2:00PM (1 class, 4 hours with a lunch break)
Fabrics from natural cellulose fibers (cottons, linens and silks) will be our “canvases” as we experiment with historical and cultural resist methods. Working in the styles of Japanese Arashi Shibori and Itajime Shibori, we’ll add colorants from liquid acrylics to white cloth for fantastic results. Beautifully prepared cloth will be matted in class and prepared for framing as a piece of art. In this workshop Ann will provide multiple demonstrations and guidance as students work together on each method while also enjoying some historical cultural information shared during demonstrations. Use different fabric sizes in the workshop and note the various effects. Be prepared to be amazed with your results, have fun and witness colors merging onto the textiles as they take on a life of their own! No prior experience needed. All skills are welcome. A $10 Supply fee (including all materials) including fabrics and finished frame mats.
$80 Members | $110 Non-members +$10 Supply Fee (paid to Ann in class includes all supplies for this one-day class)
