This
book begins with a historical and cultural background, then goes on
to explain clearly, with step-by-step instructions and diagrams, how
to make a wide range of exquisite fabrics. Covering many different
techniques - including tied-resist, stitched-resist, wrapped-resist,
clamp-resist, folded, and pleated-resist - instructions are also given
for immersion, space, and indigo-dyeing techniques. Stunning examples
of finished shibori pieces appear throughout the book both to inspire
and guide, and practical advice is given on incorporating shibori
textiles into your own quilted and embroidered pieces.
