Details

Instructor: Martha Buche

This traditional Japanese technique of fabric folding and binding makes repetitive patterns on fabric and is dyed with Indigo. We will use clips, tubes, bands and other items to make resists on our fabric for dyeing. This fun and kind of addictive activity gives instant results and makes you want to try many more. It is magical to observe the oxygen react with the Indigo, creating all shades of ‘blue jeans’ blue.
