2014 Maiwa Textile Symposium

Workshop Shibori - Splash Colour

Jane Callender

$295 includes 50 lab fee

September 27, 28 - Class Limit 15

Maiwa East: 1310 Odlum Drive, Vancouver BC

The aim of the workshop is to create an exciting range of indigo “splash colour” shibori fabrics which when combined through appliqué and quilting will create multi-layered surfaces for decorative purses, bags, and pouches.  

Designing within the constraints of a flat cloth destined for a three-dimensional form (such as a bag) poses unique design challenges. We will be working shibori specifically to suit shape and refine shibori skills.

Students will explore bound, reserved, cylinder wrap, itajime, and stitched indigo resist. Participants will use cotton and silk of different weights and textures and employ plain and dip-dyeing of jacquards and brocades. 

The focus of the workshop will be shibori.  Appliqué and quilting techniques will be demonstrated for completion of the bag at home.
