NSW Workshop
This is now a 1 Day workshop on Sunday 15 January
Simply put - shibori is Japanese for tie dye. But it is so much more than rubber bands and string! Learn how to stitch, wrap, tie, fold, clamp, and twist fabric to create beautiful patterns with the traditional blue indigo dye.
This will be a day of totally hands on textile art.

This is now a one day workshop.
Come along to a one day workshop with ATASDA and explore some ideas and techniques to make small books from fabric.
You will look at a variety of examples to fire up your imagination and get you thinking of possibilities for fabric books.
A complete kit will be provided by the tutor. After embellishing your fabric with paints, stamps etc., you will construct a variety of books from your fabric. These can be used as samples for future reference or given away to friends. Develop your new found ideas further to create new books in whichever way your imagination leads you.
