Shibori is sometimes called Japanese tie dye. Using the indigo plant, which produces a magnificent purplish blue dye, cloth is manipulated to create patterns that can be elegant and playful. In this demonstration we will use the Cinnabar Polypore mushroom or Pycnoporus sanguineus that grows in Central Texas and tropical parts of the world. In this online workshop, you will learn how to fold, clamp, and wrap fabric to make traditional patterns. You will also learn how to embed various objects inside the fabric to make non-traditional patterns.

ABOUT THE TEACHER
Ximena Curiel, since little she experienced the kindness of nature, while growing up in the jungles of southeast Mexico, from first hand she observed how ecosystems degraded, her love for all living things lead her to nurture and infinite romance between biology and design at an ecosystem level, thinking not only in bio-materials but also in designing companies that could work as a forest or a mangrove; she is today a Biopreneur who manufactures bio-based inks for fabric printing, and teaches Biomimicry, Ethnography, Biophilia, and Circular Economy to Fashion Design students; among many other curiosities that we might gossip about in some other time.
