Shibori with Nomad Tribe Wynwood
Last week I had the extreme pleasure of venturing out to Wynwood (yup, braving Zika) to take a shibori class at a local fair trade boutique, Nomad Tribe.
What is shibori, you ask? It's a Japanese indigo-dying technique that involves using compression to create patterns in different types of fabric. There's no wrong way to design, tie and/or clip the fabric, and it turns up some really amazing designs like the ones my fellow fashion bloggers and I ended up getting. Each pattern was a complete surprise, and it was fun seeing what the other bloggers came up with!
We all had smurf-blue hands by the time we were done, and I had extreme satisfaction having created something with my own hands.
Want to try shibori? There will be an official class held this month at Nomad Tribe on August 25, 6:30 p.m. Head over to eventbrite to sign up!
This is a great place, it’s superb that the people from this venue New York recognize that the holiday party is the time to celebrate not only the year’s achievements, but the talent and teamwork that made those achievements possible.
