TWO DIFFERENT THREE-DAY WORKSHOPS
SHIBORI
APRIL 19-21 • 10am – 1:00pm
Shibori is the Japanese art of resist dyeing. Through stages of stitching, binding, folding and clamping, participants learn the basics of creating surface designs, and to be introduced to the limitless possibilities of creating functional or fine art with immersion dyed fabric.

INNOVATIONS IN FIBER
APRIL 26-28 • 10am – 1:00pm
Using stitching, binding, restricting and heating to manipulate fabric, participants learn the basics of creating free-standing forms from flat fabric. This methodology and process is designed to encrypt the shape of the mold being used onto the memory of the textile fibers to craft fine or wearable art.

Saberah Malik, on Innovations in Fiber: “In a self-evolved process developed from my practice of shibori, through which I came to understand the potential of fiber and fabric manipulation, I create ethereally transparent fabric forms from natural and manufactured artifacts. The paradoxical intricacy and precision through which my process captures the simple roughness of the form of unhewn stone or the smooth symmetry of a glass bottle, is a reflection on the perfect and the imperfect; it is a meditation on beauty in the inconsistencies of crafting, and in nature. It is a search for the spiritual within matter as a divine presence.”
