Shibori is a Japanese dyeing technique that involves folding, twisting, or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo. Whatever is used to bind the fabric will resist the dye, resulting in areas of the cloth that take the distinctive blue dye in patterns created by the resistance, and other areas of the cloth that remain white. We’ll provide the supplies for you to dye one small piece of cotton cloth.
