This Saturday, November 9th, come join Fernanda Mascarenhas' Natural Dye and Shibori workshop from 5pm to 7pm here at Moberly!

This workshop combines two techniques: shibori and natural dyeing with plants. Shibori is a Japanese manual resist dyeing technique, which produces a number of different patterns on fabric. Each participant will learn some basic ways of tying, pinching and folding fabrics using rubber bands, clamps, pegs, and string, to create a one-of-a-kind cotton bandana. The workshop also explores the beauty of natural colour using plants. Teaching how to extract pigments from plants or food waste to make a dye bath, the participant will have a chance to dye their shibori-bandanas in them. There will be 2 or 3 colours of choice, made from plants or food waste available on the occasion such as turmeric, black tea, hibiscus, annatto seeds, marigolds, carrot tops, avocado pitch or onion skins. All materials provided.

Registration is $45. To do so, you can call Sunset Community Centre at 604.718.6505, or visit:
