Date and time: 2018-04-21 17:00 - 2018-04-21 19:00

Location: Ideas Block LT, Pylimo g. 60, Vilnius

Shibori textiles dyeing workshop with Liucija Textiles.

Shibori is a traditional Japanese textiles dyeing technique, where by folding, tying, stitching, twisting, compressing a fabric, patterns are created.

This dyeing technique is a great way to make your plain clothes more interesting or renew old clothes. So bring your old (or new) clothes or just any fabric you wish to dye, which you would like to change or bring back for a new life. Everything that is made from natural fibre is good for dyeing – COTTON or LINEN are the best (synthetic or semi-synthetic fabrics do not dye or dye in very pale tones). We will dye all the white fabrics and other colours will be bleached.

During the workshop, while enjoying a cup of tea, we will talk about a variety of textiles dyeing techniques and dyes, answer the questions you might have, and, most importantly, everyone will get a chance to experiment with Shibori dyeing and create something unique.

We wil provide you with dyes and all the tools needed.

Workshop duration: 2 hours
Fee: 8 €
Workshop will be held in LIthuanian and/or English (depending on the requirements of the participants.
