You'll get an overview of different traditions of resist dyeing methods from around the world to contextualised the Shibori techniques.. You'll be using cotton but there will also samples on show of cotton in different weight and a range of different materials - good to see how this changes the marks you can make. If you've got small items in natural fibres that you'd like to revitalise then bring them too!
