Shibori

Shibori

 

Shibori is a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique used to create intricate patterns on fabric. It involves folding, binding, stitching, or compressing the fabric in various ways before dyeing it. The tied or clamped areas resist the dye, resulting in beautiful, unique patterns when the fabric is submerged in dye. Shibori can produce a wide range of designs, from delicate and fine lines to bold and abstract shapes. This traditional craft has been practiced in Japan for centuries and is known for its exquisite and often indigo-colored textiles.
