|  Shibori |
IntroductionShibori is the Japanese word for a variety of ways of embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it before dyeing. Although shibori is used to designate a particular group of resist-dyed textiles, the verb root of the word emphasizes the action performed on cloth, the process of manipulating fabric. Rather than treating cloth as a two-dimensional surface, with shibori it is given a three-dimensional form by folding, crumpling, stitching, plaiting or plucking and twisting. The
special characteristic of shibori resist is a soft-or blurry-edged pattern. This
effect is quite different from the sharp-edged resist obtained with stencil, paste
and wax. With shibori the dyer works in concert with the materials, not in an
effort to overcome their limitations but to allow them full expression. And, an
element of the unexpected is always present.
