Join me for a colourful, creative day learning about the magic of pattern making with indigo dye. These days are open to beginners as well as anyone with more experience. The main focus of the indigo days is to explore the Japanese art of Shibori and learn how to create a wide variety of beautiful patterns and designs on our natural fabrics. This first day will involve looking at an introduction to stitching to create resist designs as well as folding and clamping and how to use them to create beautiful patterns. You will be provided with a small amount of natural materials to practice pattern making on that you get to take home. However, you should also bring some of your own materials too and a detailed materials list with preparation instructions and suggested stockists will be sent to you once you have booked. If you wish then you can bring an old piece of clothing to upcycle. This garment should be made of a natural material such as cotton, silk or bamboo and ideally be quite pale in colour. It should also be scoured and washed before arrival as per the instructions in the materials list. PLEASE come dressed in workwear type clothes and closed toe shoes. We will be outside for most of the day so do bring something warm to wear incase the weather changes. The day will also include regular refreshments, cake and a delicious two course lunch to ensure that you have nothing to think about other than immersing yourself in this wonderful day.
