Upcycled Tie Dye / by Aishah Bostani

Aishah Bostani, post-baccalaureate fellow at the Design Center, provides a brief introduction to shibori tie dye, a Japanese dyeing technique that originated in the 8th century, and guides readers through the prep and dyeing process. She highlights five different dyeing pattern techniques: square itajime, triangle itajime, kumo, ne-maki, and arashi which create squares, triangles, circles, and lines onto the fabric.
