2 Days Workshop Shibori - with local indigo dye "Herringbone" pattern

Shibori Workshop with
"Herringbone" Gangi pattern tequnique.

Join us for a two-day workshop where you'll learn how to create your own textiles using Shibori techniques, a traditional Japanese fabric dyeing method often linked to tie-dye.

Technique:
Gangi Shibori is one of the basic and traditional patterns.
'Gangi' depicts the image of geese flying in formation in the sky.
This pattern is frequently used by the Japanese in fabric and architecture.
On the other hand, in Europe, it is called the Herringbone pattern, which refers to the shape of a fish bone. This highlights the different perspectives in describing natural forms :)
