Tie Dye and Shibori
Tie-Dye and Traditional Shibori Course: Enjoy New Techniques and Stunning Prints in Bangkok
Tie-dye and Shibori, two captivating textile techniques, each boast a rich history rooted in ancient traditions. Tie-dye, famous for its psychedelic renaissance in the 1960s, has its origins in resist-dyeing methods from Africa and Asia, where fabrics are folded, tied, or pleated before applying vibrant dyes. On the other hand, Shibori hails from Japan, with its distinct approach to folding, binding, and stitching fabric to create stunning, indigo-dyed patterns. These techniques have evolved over centuries and are renowned for their visually striking, one-of-a-kind designs.
