Dye class: shibori projects!
I haven't mentioned the class i'm teaching this semester yet, because it's all been technical projects so far dealing with the chemistry of different classes of dye, creation of Testfabric multifiber swatch books, color wheels and so forth. But, we've finally moved onto the more artistic section of the class, the units on surface design, so i have some photos to share!
The first of the surface design units is shibori, and the students have really turned out a series of beautiful fabrics in this round.
First year Nora Rogers created this silk/cotton-blend yardage using a pole-wrapping technique.
Second year Claire Fleming created this silk crepe de chine yardage using a board clamping technique over a variegated ground process.
Sample of Claire's variegated ground process pre-shibori, and the board clamps.
Undergraduate Caroline Long created this cotton yardage using a board clamping technique.
Second year Samantha Greaves created this rayon yardage using a board clamping technique.
Second year Kaitlin Fara created this silk crepe de chine yardage using a stitching and capping technique. Her pattern can be seen at lower right.
First year Adrienne Corral created these cotton wrap trousers with koi motifs using a stitching and pasting technique.
Back view of trousers with a better view of the koi fish design.
Adrienne's sample pieces for working out how she would create her motifs.
