Shibori Scarves
w/ fiber reactive dye
Saturday, December 7
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Join Sara McCourt on Saturday, December 7th from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM for a Shibori Workshop at Arts on Main!
In this workshop, we will explore the traditional Japanese tie-dye techniques of folding and clamping fabric to create resists. We will use fiber reactive dyes (tie-dye) to achieve one of a kind projects. Dye techniques can be used across mediums. Creating something as simple as a scarf can be fun and interesting. Everyone is capable of being creative!
All supplies will be provided by the instructor.

An avid knitter, Sara found that the needles in her hands were the gateway tool to a deeper passion: fiber. Wondering about the sourcing and processing of her mail-order wools led her to complete her Master’s Spinning Certification program at the Olds College in Alberta, Canada. She then began to use her handspun yarns in weaving. This of course led to the use of natural and synthetic dyes in her work. Now, Sara spins and dyes her own yarn, fibers, and fabrics for use in her various fiber arts.
