In the Better Late Than Never category, here’s a report on our May, 2007 meeting:
Cheri Bridges of Ah! Kimono taught a fabulous workshop on Japanese shibori dyeing.
Cheri brought some wonderful samples to inspire us! The pieces in the picture are all her work — the indigo fabric in the first picture was made in Japan.
Silk scarves could first be underdyed, or not. Then they were folded and carefully stitched in various patterns.
The stitching is pulled up tight to create a resist, and the scarf is ready to go into a second dyebath.
Here are our finished scarves –
And here we are, wearing them!
