Pillowcases need a refresh? Strange spot on your favorite tee? Shibori is the answer! Shibori, aka Japanese tie dye, is a multifaceted art where you can tie, fold, and stitch your way to a whole new look for tired linens, clothes, and more. Angela Malchionno, the artist behind the current Stone Tower Gallery exhibition, will walk you through the fun and rewarding process.

Bring one or two items to transform using the Itajime method of resist, a technique that utilizes shaped blocks to create bold, geometric designs. Please be sure your pieces are natural, plant based fibers like linen, cotton, or hemp. We’ll be using indigo dye to dip into, a vibrant, striking blue you’re sure to love. 

Limited number of tea towels will be available.

Beginner friendly. Open to all ages. No experience required.
