Shibori Indigo Dyeing Workshop

Create stunning indigo patterns in New York City with hands-on shibori dyeing techniques!



3 hours Location Greenpoint Class size 8 to 16 guests   $85

Dive into the mesmerizing world of shibori dyeing and discover why this centuries-old Japanese craft is one of the most satisfying creative experiences you can have in New York City! In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore several shibori techniques, learning how folding, twisting, and binding fabric create stunning indigo patterns that are truly one-of-a-kind. Each piece you make is a little surprise waiting to be revealed, turning everyday fabrics into wearable art or home accents.
The class begins with a demonstration of basic shibori methods and a peek at the patterns you can create, easing you into the process so you feel confident from the start. Then you’ll experiment on a small swatch of fabric to get a feel for the dye and technique. Once comfortable, you’ll bring your creativity to life by dyeing two to three of your own items. Ideal fabrics include white, natural fibers like cotton -- think t-shirts, button-downs, leggings, pillowcases, or dish towels. Old or slightly stained pieces work perfectly, so nothing goes to waste!
Whether you’re hunting for fun things to do in New York City, planning unique date ideas, or seeking crafty activities in Brooklyn, this class is a playful, uplifting, and approachable way to connect with your creativity. Shibori dyeing turns ordinary fabrics into joyful, personal masterpieces, making it one of the most unforgettable craft experiences you can try!
