Katazome Shibori – Indigo Stencil Dyeing

ID : 13450   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Learn the ancient, elegant technique of Katazome Shibori using paste and stencils to design an indigo-dyed Noren curtain. Katazome (“kata” meaning mold and “zome” meaning to dye) is a labor-intensive method of mixing a sticky paste from rice flour, passing the paste through stencils onto fabric to create a resist pattern, and then dyeing the fabric to reveal patterns. The resist paste is then washed off, leaving behind a perfect image from the stencil. You will have access to a variety of new and vintage stencils and are welcome to bring your own. Kaitlin will cover the ancient techniques of this process, as well as modern applications and methods. 

You should have taken Intro to Shibori or have some experience with indigo dyeing to have the best experience in this workshop. You will be provided a 12” x 30” noren curtain to design, and are welcome to bring your own natural fiber material to “free dye” with any leftover time and materials.
