Traditional to Faux Exploring Woven Shibori Workshop- Kathleen Waln

Workshops are limited to Sacramento Weave Guild Members.

Experience two days of woven shibori on the loom! In this workshop, you will create your one-of-a-kind woven fabric. Shibori roughly translates “to wring, squeeze or press” – an aesthetic tie dye. When you weave with shibori, you end up with fabric with a dye-resist of your woven pattern.

Day One: Participants will learn the two-shuttle woven technique and then weave multiple samples on the same threading. Examples and demonstrations will be included in the workbook. (This is not a Round Robin workshop.)

Day Two: Students will cut samples off the loom to be pulled and tied. After lunch, samples will be prepped to dye using cold water dyes. Immersion and direct dyeing will be demonstrated and accomplished by students.

Participants will need the following. Specific directions and threading pattern will be delivered once student had confirmed they are taking the workshop.
