This one-day workshop is an overview on creating Shibori-textiles: a traditional resist dyeing technique that allows you to design various patterns. Also known under the name Plangi, this technique has been used in Middle Eastern textiles especially in Hama, Syria. There are no limits of your creativity to make your own interpretation of individual fabric design. You can bind, fold, twist or press your cloth to explore the numerous possibilities of graphic patterns.
