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.

About Tiraz: Widad Kawar Home for Arab Dress

Tiraz is an interactive museum for an elegant and extremely rare kind of social history; a history which is tactile and visual, woven into fabric, and related though the work of feminine hands. It has taken over fifty years of commitment and vision to build the Widad Kamel Kawar collection, as a home for one of the most significant archives of Arab costume heritage in the modern era. Tiraz is more than a space to remember. It is a place to restore and renew what could have become lost.
