ART 109: Shibori: Japanese shaped resist dyeing

10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. with an hour for lunch

There will be daily lecture/demonstrations at 10:30 of 2 or 3 techniques. Lunch hour can be flexible, but you are expected to be in class for 4 hours each day. For those who have something to dye first thing in the morning, we will try to get a bath going before the demonstration. Otherwise we will start baths after. The last dye bath of the day needs to start at 2:15 or 1 hour before you leave, so that you will be able to rinse before you leave. You are responsible for removing your fabric and rinsing it!
