What is Shibori ? |
|
| Shibori is the collective term in Japanese for tie-dye, stitch-dye, fold-dye, pole wrap-dye, etc. It is translated into English as shaped-resist dyeing, because no comparable embracing term exists in English. World Shibori Network (WSN) is a grassroots organization formed in 1992 in Japan at the time of the first International Shibori Symposium. Our main goal is to create a network of artisans, designers, business people, schools, exhibitions to work together to support traditional cottage industires of tie&dye, which have roots in many parts of the world. |  |
| At the same time, we cultivate appreciation and understanding of these traditional creative processes among artists and designers in "developed" countries, to sustain our cultural heritage. Our efforts result in finding means to subsist in the country where jobs are hard to find, as well as technologically developed societies, where humanistic creative activities are being forgotten | |
