Product Description

Every dedicated surface design enthusiast should have this book. We've carried a variety of Shibori books over the years and we think this may be one of the best. Accomplished Textile Designer and well-known author Mandy Southan guides the reader through nearly every aspect of this ancient and fascinating art form. Binding, folding, capping, clamping and stitching techniques are all revealed in beautiful detail. You will learn to create stunning effects on a myriad of fabrics using Acid dyes, Fiber Reactive dyes and discharging agents. The insightful, detailed explanations and beautiful, instructive photographs make this book a true gem.

Mandy Southan's book on Shibori Designs and Techniques is a good introduction to shibori. I have been a dyer for twenty years and find this book is a good source of inspiration with great photos and instructions. This is a nice addition to an experienced dyer's library and perfect for a beginner. As always, the book arrived quickly. Thanks Dharma, after twenty years of buying from you I look forward to many more.

I've done tie-dye, but never Shibori - this was easy to understand, with great pictures to illustrate. Perfect for beginners or folks with a little experience. Well written and interesting.

Interesting use of dyes and techniques but fairly complicated, needing to use components that I don't have readily available. I.E. large tubes to wrap the silk scarf on.

There are techniques in here from the quick and simple to some quite laborious, but all are fantastic. When I brought in some things that I did out of this book, two more people in my dying class(of about 12) bought it. There is something in here for everyone.
