Join us for an interactive shibori workshop with Hiroshi Murase, our Master Arimatsu Shibori Artist and Instructor. You will elevate your shibori practice through interactive learning with Murase-san and the other participants. Play with folding, stitching, pleating, wrapping and even combined methods for dye-resist on your cloth before immersing your work in indigo or other dyes. Then unbind the resist to discover shibori memories in light and dark designs on your cloth. During this workshop, you’ll have opportunities to show your current work for critique and discussion.
Murase-san is developing a curriculum for this workshop based on participants’ requests. Details coming here soon.
Hiroshi Murase was born 4th generation into a textile family of shibori-stencil pattern-making artisans in the traditional shibori production center of Arimatsu-Narumi, Japan. He has been deeply rooted in the art of shibori his whole life and well-versed in a wide range of shibori techniques.
