"Shibori Scapes Retreat" held in Skaneateles, NY in June of 2002. In this three day retreat, participants combined the evocative Shibori with Nuno Felt response.  

he story began as Shibori Dye techniques were used to create shadowy patternings on silk gauze base fabric.

Viewing the potential of these design forms as a "Scape" possible responses were then discussed -- texture, double weave, double felt or 3-D relief might be possible responses.  

Emphasis, however, was on creating yardage for future use.  Nuno  Felt techniques were then over layered as appropriate to the evocative shibori.  Many suggestions appeared in spontaneity, akin to the Shibori, for the sculpted fabrics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the sheer delight of all -- some scapes did realize their destiny by the end of the retreat!
