Shibori / Tie-Dye
Similar to Tie-Dye and Bandhani in principle, Shibori is a Japanese form of Multi-technique resist dyeing. At Creative Bee, we incorporate Tie-Dye, Mud Resist, Clamp Resist, Stitch Resist, Local Application, Block Print, and various other techniques in our Shibori, resulting in some of the most amazing patterns. We use 100% Natural Dyes for our Shibori and most of our Shibori artists are women from the neighbouring villages. Though our Shibori is done on our own handloom fabric, we also train rural women - elderly widows, single mothers and anyone interested - to use the technique on readily available fabric, to create finished, value-added, sellable products as a way of providing a livelihood.
