This is an intermediate class, part 3 in my series, were we'll focus on stitching fabrics to form designs. Nui, Ori-Nui, Maki-Nui, Karamatsu, Guntai, capping, and Boshi will be shown.
Those who are familiar with hand stitching and are interested in all natural "Real" indigo are welcome to attend.
An all natural batch of indigo will be used for this session, since the stitching will take some time and your pieces will be smaller. In this class you may only bring small pieces of fabric or we have banana size pieces for you to use, included in price.
