This is a Private lesson so you will be able to discuss in advance what you would like to cover but see below for some options.

Content:

Past students have learned some of these techniques:

  • Mokume (woodgrain effect) Shibori

  • Hotaru (Firefly) Shibori

  • Gridwork

  • Advanced stitch techniques

  • Katano Shibori

  • Tesuji (striped) shibori

  • Mini Arashi

Who is this class for?: Intermediate / have done some Shibori before

Duration: 2.5 hours

Location: This class is an Online course run using Zoom. You will need a device that can access the internet with a camera and microphone to take this class.

What do I need to provide myself?

  • Pre-washed calico, cotton or linen fabric

  • Needle - a thinnish long darner works well

  • Strong thread - ideally bonded nylon 60s weight upholstery thread or a strong cotton thread

  • Depending on the techniques covered some templates or tools may need to be sourced in advance. Your tutor will help with this.

  • Small pair of sharp scissors

  • Water sprayer

  • Dye - either an indigo dye kit or a Dylon hand dye and 250g table salt

  • Plastic bucket, stirrer and rubber gloves.

I offer a kit with fabric, thread and a needle. Scroll to the bottom of the page to buy.


Course availability

Please note: these workshops will be run as Zoom meetings so you will need to have a computer or laptop that has video and audio (this should be true of all computers!)

Private tuition dates and times are organised directly with the tutor. You will be emailed following payment to discuss your lesson and agree a time for the tuition.
