In this hands-on workshop, we work with stitched Shibori techniques and immersion dyeing using natural color. This class is designed for beginners and for anyone who enjoys working with quiet, tactile processes.
All materials are provided, including pre-scoured and pre-mordanted linen, tools, thread, and access to the dye baths. You will leave with 2–3 finished natural-dyed Shibori pieces and the confidence to continue experimenting at home.
This class is ideal for beginners, slow-makers, and anyone curious about natural color and pattern. No sewing or dyeing experience is required—just an interest in working with your hands and exploring color in a thoughtful way.
