My programme of dyeing workshops has continued this week with a session of shibori. If you read the Wikipedia entry you will discover many of the techniques we tried. I don't think I have ever worked so hard at a technique! The stitching, pulling up and wrapping involved all put a huge strain on my hands and resulted in some very annoying pain but I enjoyed the day and I've got some lovely results which I'll get to in a minute.

You can see in the following photographs the fabrics prepared for dyeing. Some of the fabrics had been dyed in previous sessions, hence the yellow appearance.
