Are you a lover of all things Shibori and Indigo?
Yes, that’s right! This time around, we have Shuji teaching us tying and clumping shibori methods and Alison will teach us wrapping and stitching shibori methods.
All PFD (prepared for fabric dyeing) cotton & linen will be supplied and you will stitch, wrap, clump and tie your PFD to make the most amazing designs.
After 4 intense days of Indigo Dyeing, we move onto the 2nd part of your exciting retreat.
Alison Yamazaki will help you create traditional Japanese Bags using your dyed pieces and finish off with chiku-chiku stitched runner or picture, showing you how to use your scraps in an inventive way.

Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, this retreat starts on 22 July to 02 August 2024, which means 22 July is the day you fly in, and 02 August is the day you fly out.
Please aim to land in Bali early afternoon on your first day, and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.
If your flight is out of these times, an AUD$45 (per car) transfer fee is applicable.
If you wish to fly in earlier we will pick you up from the airport on your arrival and bring you to the hotel in Candidasa (and book extra nights for you – at your cost). This service is an additional AUD$45 per car. We can also pick you up on the first day from a hotel that you have booked yourself (within Kuta, Legian, or Sanur within the above times) – as we will be on the way to the airport, and can stop in and pick you up.
Once you know your flight times, let me know and we can work from there.
