Shibori is a Japanese resist-dyeing technique, similar to “tie dye,” that shapes and secures cloth by various means-- folding, crumpling, stitching, plaiting, plucking, or twisting—thus giving fabric a three-dimensional form before dyeing. The Shibori Study Group is for all levels, beginner through advanced who wish to learn how to create Shibori. Please email shibori@rmwg.org to indicate your interest and find out when/where the next monthly meeting is. Please email shibori@rmwg.org.

One of the goals of the guild is to pass our knowledge of weaving, spinning, dyeing, and other fiber arts on to others. To facilitate that within the guild we encourage mentoring. In previous years we have paired seekers with mentors, have held mentoring groups and have helped to direct inquirers to places in the community where they can take classes. We have also sometimes had an open mentoring session after each regular guild meeting. The purpose is to encourage individuals by answering questions and pairing them with other guild members who will be able to continue to help. If you are interested as either a mentor or a seeker, please visit the Mentoring section on our Members page.
