Shibori

Shibori is a Japanese indigo technique that dates back to the 8th century. There are many different ways you can create patterns by folding, binding, wrapping, stitching, and clamping fabrics that will resist the indigo dye creating a beautiful design. Sometimes mistaken as tie-dye, Shibori is a labor of love which requires patience and appreciation for the process behind this technique.
