Shibori Burst Eco-Print with Kristin Field

We first introduced you to Kristin Field of Field & Gardner  and her incredible work through our social media series Takeover Tuesday. You loved her intricate Eco-printed Shibori circles so much that we decided to offer a workshop with her this fall! Join us for an online workshop where you can watch her demonstrate the techniques that she uses to create unique and beautiful eco-printed shibori.

Join Kristin  for a one-day online workshop where you will learn to design, stitch, cap, indigo dye, and eco-print with pressed coreopsis flowers to create unique shibori burst designs. Kristin began making these indigo & coreopsis designs in 2021, and this is the first time she will be sharing her techniques in a workshop!
