Textile method - Shibori

This resource introduces students to Shibori, a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique used to create patterned fabrics. It explains how fabric can be folded, pinched and tightly bound to resist the dye, with different folding and binding methods producing different patterns.

The resource includes visual examples, a materials list and a step-by-step practical guide.

Students are shown how to fold and bind their fabric, apply indigo dye, rinse the fabric and remove the bindings to reveal the final pattern.
