Publisher's Synopsis
A reference source to the dyeing technique of shibori. The book is illustrated throughout and presents a complete survey of the craft, from its origins, over 1000 years ago to the latest 20th-century innovations. Potential for creating designs in textiles can be seen even in the physical properties of cloth. The simple fact that cloth tightly compressed into wrinkles or folds resists the penetration of dye is an opportunity-an opportunity to let the pliancy of textiles speak in making designs and patterns.
