Katano Shibori Prep Demo

This Katano preparation demo is specifically for the Japan Textile Workshop in Fujino, Japan. This 10 day workshop, taught by renown textile expert Bryan Whitehead, includes Shibori textiles dyeing utilizing several techniques, stencil making and stencil printing, field trips, cultural lessons and more. Meeting in Tokyo on the first day, our instructor will take us around Tokyo for a short tour of vintage textiles and handmade papers. Los Angeles based arts educator, Debra Valencia, serves as your trip organizer for all pre-trip planning and advance design homework preparation. The remaining 9 days will be spent in hands-on workshops in a large charming farmhouse in Fujino about 90 minutes from Tokyo. This is truly a magical one-of-a-kind experience packed with craft lessons, history, culture, learning, great food, field trips, fun and friendship.

Love you Debra!

[@shresthahalder3142]

Wow!!!! This was really good and helpful.

[@lightningminded]

Thank you for this video! It is really helpful. I am no expert, but is it called Katano rather than Katana, after Motohiko Katano?

[@eliamariasommermarquez9248]

Es muy interesante y buenísimo tu vídeo

[@punchjudy]

The two scarves you showed in the beginning are beautiful! I wish you had a demo on how to make those. Also, I'm confused on the piece you demonstrate here. Without seeing a finished product, I'm not understanding the purpose of sewing alternate points on both sides.

part 2 please😉

[@PuiPuiFC]

Thank you for sharing the technical, have you ever make more video beside this one? I would love to see how you do the first scarf that you made. And may I have more info about the classes that you mentioned in Japan? Love your video, thanks

Please can you send information on the follow up stitching that you refer to as I am unable to find it ?Thank you

[@ritadeniston8986]

for demo purposes a contrasting thread would really help

[@debravalencia]

Yes I agree! But the white is the only color sold in Japan and it is a specific type of cotton only for Shibori

[@abigailorbunde8401]

I wish you used a contrast colour of thread

[@debravalencia]

Yes, I wish a contrasting color was available Unfortunately it is very hard to find black any longer. Our teacher in Japan has not been able to find it for several years. And we must use the strong thread that is made especially for this purpose. When you pulll it tight, any normal thread would break and that is a huge risk after hours of stitching.
