Fun with Indigo and Shibori
I took fiber arts in college and it was one of my favorite classes right along with metals and printmaking. So this past weekend, I got to have some fun with KC of MakeShopLive who taught us how to use indigo and Japanese Shibori techniques to dye scarves, and it brought back great fiber memories.
KC is an amazing local fiber artist here in Orange County and she is super fun!
Check her out here: Make. Shop. Live.
Here are some photos from her Shibori class at the Creative Outlet Studios, which is a perfect spot to get crafty in Orange County. If you are in the area, I highly suggest checking it out. They were recently featured in the OCWeekly! Check out their article here.
We are already planning a let's try this at home day and dye everything indigo!
Does this inspire you to take your bed sheets and go to Shibori town? I kind of think so!
xo,
Great photos, my favorite is the one with all the lids, wood blocks, washers & scissors. There are two indigo kits sitting the garage right now and I ordered a vintage white crochet dress that I can't wait to see swimming in the indigo blue.
ReplyDeleteThat is my favorite too! The dress is going to be so cute...can't wait to see it. xo
