Shibori is an ancient Japanese resist dyeing technique that comtemporary American dyers have enlivened w/tie-dye-inspired colors, resulting in an exuberant interplay between color and texture. Brito shares her authoritative knowledge of silk, dyes, dyeing, and discharge and revealing how to formulate colors, create a variety of resists, and set texture. Brito's work shimmers with iridescent color and eye-catching pleating, which she creates by combining pole-wrapping and other types of show more resists w/discharge and overdying. show less
