Contemporary Fiber Arts: June 2012
http://contemporaryfiberarts.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 16, 2012. Shibori Workshop with Barbara and Michael Pickett. The Contemporary Fiber Arts Guild hosted a Shibori Indigo Dye Workshop on June 2, 2012. Our instructors were Barbara and Michael Pickett from Eugene. The most fascinating aspect for me, an indigo novice, was pulling the dyed piece from the indigo vat and watching it "bloom" from pale green when removed from the dye bath to dark blue after exposure to oxygen. Wow. Out of the dye bath, the scarves are pale green at this point.
