Learn the art of Shibori during an afternoon of Indigo dyeing at the Forge. Shibori is a Japanese dyeing technique that uses different types of folds and ties to create unique dye resist patterns. Working with cotton fabric, you will create your own unique designs with an option to experiment with samples or complete a final product such as a tote bag or t-shirt. You will walk away with knowledge about this special Japanese craft.
