[/alert]]Workshop Description
Join Tzigane Caddell, for a new Indigo Workshop that specifically explores Shibori Stitching. Create a striking linen scarf with nature’s only natural blue. Week 1: You will learn about stitched Shibori resist techniques; choose either the Maki-Age/ Circle pattern or the Mokume/ Woodgrain pattern & draw it on a linen scarf; begin hand stitching with needle and thread. Week 2: Your week’s work will come to life in the Indigo Vat!
This is an intermediate course that will require 3 to 6 hours of hand stitching (maybe more?), depending on the design chosen. It will be necessary for you to take your work home to finish stitching between Week 1 and Week 2. All materials provided by the instructor. Materials costs to be paid by participants to instructor.
Schedule: The workshop will consist of 2 evening classes, one week apart, from 6 – 9pm, 3 hours each, equalling a total of 6 hours of instruction. The week between workshop evenings is necessary for students to complete stitching their pieces at home. Indigo Dyeing will take place Week 2.
Materials Costs per Participant, $60: To be paid, in cash or by e-transfer, to Instructor, Tzigane Caddell, at the beginning of 1st class. This includes:
- Indigo Vat supplies
- Stitching supplies
- 1 Linen Scarf, 25″ x 70″
