The Itajime Shibori workshop at Better than Jam was fantastic. Thoroughly throughout with lessons on how the technique was created from traditional to modern-day interpretation. Learning the process while making your dye pieces is thought-provoking and leaves you with a calmness that you will long for after you go. I've shown my work to friends and family, and they all rave for a piece. It now seems that I'll have to retake this workshop to have a couple of items for myself. I would recommend this class to everyone and anyone. 10/10. Thank you for such a great lesson on the Itajime Shibori technique.

Loved this class! The instructor was super communicative and made sure we knew what to bring and what to expect when we arrived. The class was small and intimate and the instructor was able to give each one of us individual attention. I loved the pieces I created and felt really inspired from working with my hands all day :)

Karin was an amazingly patient, supportive and attentive teacher. This was my first block printing class and she was able to teach in a way that was approachable, fun and made space for me to make errors/learn. Would definitely take another class with her! Also super fun space to learn in!
-
Well thought out projects that were fun and rewarding to do. Excellent studio to work in and a talented, articulate teacher.

This was a super inspiring morning! Loved the fact we could take our creations home with us. The teacher was incredible. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to get crafty!

loved the class. I will sure return to have more!!! The teacher is very patient (specially that I was trying to do a very difficult drawing) didn't rush me and taught us in a very patient and skilled way.

The Instructor was well versed with the history & use of the Indigo dye. There was enough space & time to finish a number of items utilizing the different techniques.

I’ve taken a couple of classes with Karin, previously Shibori, and it’s become one of my favorite hobbies! Karin is a great teacher, and finds the balance between assisting you in understanding the process while encouraging experimentation. I’m already signed up for more classes, highly recommend!
-
Wonderful class. Nicely sized (we had 6 students in total). Paced well for beginners - there was sufficient time for pre-learning, and then trying out different techniques on 3 pieces (the studio provided tea white cotton towels / bandanas / totes). A lovely way to spend a Sun morning.
-
This class is so much fun, and is an awesome intro into Shibori. Karin is a really great teacher, and it's so cool to walk out with three things that you've dyed yourself. Highly recommend it.

Karin was patient, very encouraging and a great teacher. I learned a ton!

Karin is wonderful and the class was a lot of fun, though relaxing at the same time. She was extremely generous with her time and allowed us to be as creative as we wanted. I would highly recommend booking her class!
