Shibori is the ancient Japanese art of cloth dyeing. It refers to several techniques that are used to dye patterns onto cloth. 
Among these techniques are tying with string, stitching a pattern, or clamping the folded cloth with wooden blocks.  Master artist, Setsuko Hayashi, will join us on May 18th at 1:00 PM in the GVJCI Nisei Veterans Hall to lead another of her popular workshops.

The students will be working with a silk scarf at this workshop will use an indigo dye from Japan called aizome.  She will teach students to create a unique pattern on their scarves that looks like the feathers of a peacock. Workshop fees are $25 per person.  To register, please call the GVJCI office at (310) 324- 6611, or email: info@jci-gardena.org
