{3/14} Shibori Indigo Dyeing

Saturday, March 14 | 2:00–4:00pm
Ages 16+ (younger welcome with an accompanying adult)
Instructor: Sara Vranes

Discover the beauty of Shibori, a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique that creates stunning patterns through folding, twisting, binding, and stitching fabric before dyeing.

In this hands-on workshop, local artist Sara Vranes will guide participants through several Shibori methods using indigo dye. You’ll learn how small changes in folding and binding can create dramatically different results—and how to plan designs that feel both intentional and surprising.

Each participant will receive a bandana to dye and take home, leaving with a one-of-a-kind piece that’s both wearable and artful.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike—no prior dyeing experience required. Just come ready to experiment, learn, and get a little messy.
