The Joel Fund: Operation ART

Fiber Arts: Two-Day Shibori and Sashiko Workshop

Instructor: Grace McFetters Caldwell

When: Mondays, 1 - 4 pm

Dates: June 23 & 30

This two-part workshop will have you seeing blue, as in indigo blue!  Learn the ancient art of Japanese shibori indigo dyeing with a twist, using a clay resist to get an interesting design on a backdrop of indigo blue.  On day two, you will learn to hand stitch using the Japanese artform, Sashiko. This straight stitch is easy for anyone to learn but has a very intricate pattern that anyone can learn because of its simplicity.  

PLEASE NOTE: 

This workshop is two days long but has a week in between sessions. 

Typically, TJF fiber arts classes and workshops are for women only, but this workshop is open to any military-connected individual.
