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.

Meet the Starbirds
at Eureka Thyme
May 22-24, 2009
Dear Friends,
This weekend we will celebrate the creativity of Ken Starbird and Sandy Wythawai Starbird. Join us on Saturday, May 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. to meet this fascinating duo and see some of the creations which have brought joy to so many. New works of the Starbirds’ will be on display from May 22 to the 24th. Their primal images and ceramics are always available at Eureka Thyme!
Sandy Wythawai Starbird
Strange Duo
“Sandy has been birthing Primal Images for over 22 years, first as Sandy Carlson and now as Sandy Wythawai Starbird. The fiber, fabric and found objects figures are the culmination of years of exploration and adventures in sewing, dyeing, weaving, crocheting, basketry, beading and hand building with clay and anything else that sounded like fun. ‘When working on these figures I feel a closeness with the image makers of the past who tried to create work worthy of spiritual presence and through which the answers to life’s mysteries could be found. The images speak of that which is hidden behind the mask. They speak of the connectedness of all things. They touch that Primal creative part of us which remembers that imagination and magic are closely related. When we were young we knew that we created the world anew each moment and with every sunrise. Sometime in childhood we stop trusting what feels right to us and begin accepting what we are told is true about this world. Creative work of any kind provides an opportunity for each willing person to tap into their own intuitive knowing and re-experience that early feeling of BEING magic’ ”

” ‘Creativity is that process which gives external form to inner ideas or feelings evolving from things past, bridging to things future and recording a finite moment of self-awareness’ ” Kenneth Starbird has attained such a distinctive signature in ceramics that his sculptures have the look of emerging from the hand of a wizard. They are both anthropomorphic and divine, splendidly organic, and appear concerned with sorcerous spells and aspects of pagan ritual. Like a convincing magician, Starbird invites the beguiling notion that clay can rise up in a plastic lump from the earth’s crust and spontaneously assume forms and implications concerned with supernatural games.”
