Pole Wrap or Arashi Shibori is a
Japanese fabric dyeing technique that creates a pattern that resembles driving
rain; the word Arashi means “storm” in Japanese. The patterning can appear
architectural or organic depending on how the fabric is manipulated around the
pole. Beautiful colors and textural surprises are
revealed as the poles are unwrapped.
This hands-on
workshop will cover many pole-wrapping techniques. We will use small cotton pieces of cloth (think
fat quarters), and fiber reactive dyes in immersion baths. Please note: This is not an opportunity to
make personal yardage. Supply list will
be sent upon enrollment.
To sign up: Contact Susie, who will provide payment instructions.
