New art in Eureka Thyme

By eurekathyme

shibori-2

Susan Burden brings us an amazing technique called Shibori. Susan works together with Michelle Murray to create fabulous garments such as this one shown above.

Shibori is a Japanese word for ways of shaping cloth and securing it, as part of the process of dyeing cloth. The word comes from the verb root shiboru, “to wring, squeeze, press”, emphasizing the action and process of manipulating fabric.

With Shibori, the fabric is given a three-dimensional form by folding, crumpling, stitching, pleating, plucking or twisting. This is an invention credited to Suzuki Kanezo around 1880 in Japan. The Shibori family of techniques include numerous resist processes practiced throughout the world.
Susan uses traditional Shibori techniques and pleating adaptations together with fabric painting, discharge, and vat dyeing to create deep colored,  pleated silk garments.
