Artist Club Excursion to a Shibori Workshop
Monday 10th November, Ms Buinings ‘Artist Club’ was treated to a wonderful excursion to a’ Shibori’ workshop.
The club got to experience the ancient art of Japanese Indigo tie dyeing which is very different and has more complexity than regular dyeing.
The boys were taken through the steps of how to create interesting and different effects using square or round blocks, elastic bands and pegs. The indigo dye is plant based and smells terrible, but that did not put off our intrepid experimenters who charged ahead and created their own designs.
Well done to the Artist Club boys who were not only wonderful ambassadors to the school, but behaved like professional artists.
