The Sewing Labs

Discover the art of Shibori, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique known for its elegance, precision, and striking patterns. In this hands-on class, Ann Greenleaf will guide you through classic binding, folding, wrapping, clamping, and stitching methods, along with immersion dyeing techniques to transform plain fabric into stunning works of art.

Shibori is not your average tie dye. It is a centuries old craft that offers refined, sophisticated results. While indigo blue is the most iconic, we will explore a variety of dye bath options so you can experiment with the colors that speak to you.

Ann brings decades of dyeing experience and a deep passion for textile design. You can choose to dye fabric for future projects or refresh garments with custom patterns. The process is fast paced, a little messy, and endlessly rewarding. Each piece you unwrap is a surprise, like opening a gift made just for you.

Come ready to explore, play, and create something truly one of a kind.
