Shibori techniques, when applied to silk, lend themselves beautifully to producing sculptural forms. In this workshop students will learn basic shibori techniques to produce a silk sculpture that can be worn as a neck adornment.

Silk Organza will be stitched, bound and wrapped to form shapes that will be dyed using acid dyes. Once dry the sculptural forms will be embellished using beads, sequins, feathers or anything your heart desires to produce exquisite designer neckwear.

Please note that this workshop is open to both the novice and those with experience. Shibori stitching techniques will be taught.
