Stitching as a way of resisting the dye has been explored by the Japanese artisans to a great extent. Arimatsu artisans have been ingenious in innovating a variety of ways to create dynamic designs on cotton yukata, kimono, and tenugui. This workshop will specifically cover Mokume Shibori, which is a type of stitch-resist created by parallel running stitches along the weft of a fabric to produce a classic namesake pattern reminiscent of wood grain. Mokume Shibori allows boundless creative interpretations such as Gangi Mokume, Karamatsu, and Nuisuji patterns and techniques. You will have an opportunity to share your experiments and samples and be introduced to artisans’ methods. Learn to use tools that will heighten your ability to create your own hand-dyed textile masterpieces.
