Welcome to fibre arts students who are interested in exploring the beautiful JAPANESE SHIBORI ART

Day 1 (Friday, July 28th): Students will explore Japanese Shibori Dyeing using their own pole wrapped cotton/linen/silk cloth of their choice. Dyes will be provided and poles for a few students will be available, but we encourage you to purchase a set of your own. Sources and Materials list with registration.

Day 2 (Saturday, July 29th): Students will move on to creating lovely cloth art with their collection of fabrics to make a medium-sized BORO ART piece. Japanese cloth is welcome, and the Instructor will provide a small kit of fabrics as accents to your cloth. Hand stitching is the project of the day. Some threads and needles will be in the classroom.

About the Artist

Bethany Garner, Instructor, has been sharing her favourite techniques in the classrooms of Universities, Guilds and groups since 1996, and brings her students a number of mixed-media, and cloth based colouring workshops based on the application of easy to use Procion MX Dyes, acrylic paints, inks, and silk paints for cloth, fibres and threads. Bethany’s courses are technique based, fun and developed to ensure that every student is accepted and feels included, supported and making their way forward on their own creative path.
