Shibori Dyeing Basics

Shibori is a Japanese resist dyeing technique that employs folding, binding, clamping, and pole wrapping to create areas of resist. This dye process can be used to create repeated patterns in fabric and when worked in multiple layers of dye, can produce intricate, mesmerizing fields of colour. Join Mariana in this workshop to discover the basics of Shibori with fibre reactive dyes!

Canvas

Oh, almost forgot to share. I also had three leftover pieces of canvas which I dyed with the eco printing remains bath and gave one piece an iron dunk.

I also had some madder dyed canvas. The madder exhaust bath was so weak, the camera couldn’t pick up on the subtle warmth in the colour. But I did get a different shade in the iron.

So I just took a picture of the eco plant remains and madder dyed canvas together.

Gradient

Remember that super blotchy marigold fabric I dyed?? I took it most of it and cooked it in that pot of eco-printing remains.

Then I made a 2% iron bath and put some of the fabric in. I staggered the times on when it came out to get different degrees of saddening.

I still have blotchy fabric but in a gradient of colours now. And there are even more colours within in piece of cloth because of the blotchy spots.

The plan is to make a patchwork quilted jacket. When I fussy cut the squares, it won’t look blotchy but intentional.

I am very happy with these results!
