Shibori Dyeing in Tokyo, Japan

Learn the ancient Japanese art of Shibori dyeing in a hands-on class in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park. Create your own unique hand-dyed silk scarf using indigo dye and traditional techniques.

Full description
Step into the art of slow making, where you’ll explore the ancient Japanese practice of Shibori dyeing—a rhythmic, hands-on process of folding, binding, twisting, and compressing silk to create breathtaking resist-dyed patterns using indigo. Learn multiple Shibori techniques including Itajime (folding and clamping) to create striking geometric shapes, Kumo (pleating and binding) for intricate spiderweb-like effects, and Arashi (pole wrapping) for soft, flowing linear patterns. As you dip silk into a living indigo vat, your fabric will transform layer by layer—guided by your hands, your choices, and the element of chance. No two pieces are ever the same, and that’s the beauty: Shibori holds space for the unexpected. Leave with your own hand-dyed silk scarf. All tools and materials are provided. Whether you're an artist, traveler, or curious beginner, this class is a chance to slow down, create with your hands, and make something truly one-of-a-kind.
