Maine Fiber Artist Mary DeLano will teach you how to create vivid blue and white designs on cloth. You will begin by twisting, folding, stitching, clamping, wrapping and compressing several pieces of fabric into a variety of shapes. Then you will dip the fabric into a magical indigo vat to produce shades ranging from pale blue to denim. Finally, you will unwrap the dyed pieces to reveal stunning patterns – both simple and complex. Mary has visited Japan twice to take Shibori workshops. She will share memories of her trips and will bring the vintage textiles she collected there for you to see.
Mary will have advanced projects available for students who have taken this class before. These projects will require students to do homework. If you are interested, please email Mary at [email protected].
Students need to bring small sharp scissors and tight-fitting dishwashing gloves to class. Please bring a sack lunch along as well, we will break in the afternoon.
