CAROL ANNE GROTRIAN TO TEACH
STITCHED SHIBORI AND HER
SOUL MATE INDIGO
AT THE NEW ENGLAND QUILT MUSEUM
NOVEMBER 11, 2018
AND
DECEMBER 1, 2018
Carol Anne Grotrian is happy to announce a new class offering—Stitched Shibori and her Soul Mate Indigo on November 11 and December 1 at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, MA.
This is a two-session opportunity to explore a Japanese slow stitch tradition found among the many techniques of shibori, an ancestor to tie-dye. Seemingly endless patterns are created by hand sewing and gathering threads tightly. After dyeing, the stitches are removed to reveal an amazing diversity of subtle patterns. Ancient indigo is the perfect dye for stitched shibori.
The first day you will learn basic techniques and then experiment with lots of variations. The interval between classes will give students time for “homework,” i.e. preparing stitched shibori for dyeing. You will dye a test sample on the first day, but the main focus of the second day, will be the indigo vats, though students are welcome to spend time with shibori techniques as well.
