Middlebury Studio School

Discover the Art of Shibori, a traditional Japanese fabric dyeing method while creating custom-dyed pieces using a variety of resist-dyeing techniques with different silk blends. Experience the luxurious beauty of silk as you discover how different fabrics absorb the dye, which can create beautiful variations in color. 

Fold, twist, knot, and shape fabric to produce original designs. Learn the Arashi method (wrapping cloth around a pole) to create flowing striped patterns, and Itajime, a folding and clamping technique that uses wooden blocks to create bold geometric patterns. Each piece reveals an exciting element of mystery and surprise as you unfold your fabric and discover the stunning patterns created through the dyeing process. Each participant will dye a variety of 3 silk or silk blend scarves. Materials Provided. All levels/Adults & Teens 14+
