What a wonderful experience this was. I was the only person in the class, so I was fortunate to get one on one attention. It was such fun learning how to do the dye design I had chosen and learning all about Shibori ancient and more modern techniques. I loved seeing the museum pieces and learning about the very intricate techniques and how the artisans work to create such beautiful pieces. I also really enjoyed being able to shop for some Shibori pieces after the tour. If you like to be hands on, this is a great class to do.

This is a great and quick class. I was the only person in our session and Nina guided me through making my Shibori scarf in an informative and fun way. I would take it again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to dip their toe in the Shibori-making waters. The museum is also so interesting! So many beautiful pieces to look at. It's really an amazing art! Thank you!
