Folds For Clamp-Dye Resist

Itajime shibori, or clamp-resist dyeing, is based on wooden boards held on either side of accordion folded cloth, then dyed. This class is an in depth exploration of how the different folds, and the location, shape, and size of the wood boards, influence the overall pattern. You will leave with dozens of dyed examples and the ability to further explore your personal pattern vocabulary.
