This workshop is a great way to find out about dying fabric using the Japanese Shibori technique with artist Amanda Donohue. Learn about different techniques such as arashi, itajame, ori nui and ne-maki.

Participants will create their own scarf using one of these techniques and can chose a linen, cotton or silk scarf.

A variety of other fabrics will be available for you to play with and dye if there is time. All necessary equipment and indigo dye will be provided. If you have any particular item you want to dye please feel free to bring it along. NB Bring one small item only made from a natural fabric - such as a cotton tote bag, t-shirt or pillowcase.

This workshop is a great opportunity to enjoy a traditional craft in a relaxed environment with other like minded fun creatives while learning skills for future projects. The workshop celebrates the process of creating unique items rather than focusing on perfect results.

Amanda Donohue works as both a textile artist and printmaker. Amanda's printmaking and textile works are informed by multiple themes; the environment and in particular water, the domestic and popular culture. Amanda investigates these themes and images in connection to her own personal history. With a BA in Visual Arts (Honours in Printmaking) from the University of Sydney, Amanda has over 20 years experience. Amanda's work is collected in galleries throughout Australia and she exhibits regularly.
