Natural Dye & Shibori – Tote Bag

This workshop combines 2 techniques, shibori and natural dyeing, to create a one-of-a-kind small cotton tote bag. Shibori is a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique which uses rubber bands, clamps, and string to tie, pinch and fold the fabric to create patterns. The workshop also teaches how to extract colours from plants or food waste such as turmeric, black tea, hibiscus, annatto seeds, marigolds, carrot tops, avocado pitches or onion skins.
