Class Description

Description

Learn the fascinating art of shibori dyeing! In this workshop, we’ll explore four unique shibori dyeing techniques. You’ll leave with a set of awesome indigo tea towels and the knowledge to take on future dyeing projects of your own.

What is shibori? It’s a Japanese dyeing technique that typically involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo. Whatever is used to bind the fabric will resist the dye, resulting in areas of the cloth that take the distinctive blue dye in patterns created by the resistance, and other areas of the cloth that remain white. Shibori is a very vast technique and there are tons of ways to do it (and a truly infinite number of patterns you can create), and in this class you’ll get an in-depth look at several of them.

Shibori dyeing is truly an amazing craft, as every piece you dye is a little bit of a mystery. We promise you’ll love the process of folding fabric, dyeing it, then unfolding it to reveal the organic results. Join us for an amazing afternoon of shibori magic!

Refund Policy

We do not issue refunds on workshop registrations.

  • If you register for a workshop and later become unable to attend, we will gladly offer a credit if you notify us at least 5 business days before the workshop.
  • Workshop credits are not redeemable for cash and cannot be applied to merchandise purchases
  • We are unable to offer credits of any kind, or honor reschedule requests, with less than 5 business days advance notice.
  • Credits cannot be given for any registrations for workshops hosted by visiting/ out of town instructors. Due to the nature of these one-time-only workshops, all events hosted by special guests are subject to this policy. Thank you for understanding!
  • In the event a class is cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather, or other Act of God, you will receive a credit to take another class at a later date (in-person or virtual).

Our workshops require a great deal of pre-planning, including ordering supplies and tools, booking staff, and making commitments to pay our instructors -- all based on the number of students who register. When students ask to cancel or reschedule at the last minute, we lose money. As a small business, we are unable to absorb these costs and still keep our class prices low.  

In fairness to all of our customers, we are unable to make exceptions to our policy, including for reasons of illness or travel. If you are unable to attend a workshop at the last minute, we suggest giving your spot to a friend!

Refund Processing Fees:

  • The following only applies in the event a provider’s cancellation/refund policy allows for cancellations and a full refund, please see above or contact CourseHorse to determine eligibility.
  • In the event a class is still going to occur and a full refund is requested, and you are eligible for a full refund in accordance with the provider’s policy, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from your refund amount.

  • Indigo Tea Towels: 4 Shibori Techniques

    The instructor was SO knowledgeable about this craft and taught us multiple dying methods, how to care for and wash our tea towels, and even went into the science of how to mix up a perfect batch of die. This is picky, but I kind of wish there had been snacks or water offered, since the class was 2.5 hours long. Overall though, this was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and the location offered a 10% student discount to buy materials after the class. I would return for another class in the future.
  • Indigo Tea Towels: 4 Shibori Techniques

    This class was a lot of fun. Instructor knows the subject/craft of shibori very well and really enjoyed the space it was held in. Loved the towels and how they came out, so much that I made a gif of the end results http://giphy.com/gifs/dying-crafty-shibori-l3q2xXSowAzvNE39m
