Shibori is infinitely more than the tie-dye that became well known in the late 1960s. Shaped-resist dyeing techniques have been done for centuries in every corner of the world. Yet more than half of the known techniques-in which cloth is in some way tied, clamped, folded, or held back during dyeing, to keep some areas from taking color - originated in Japan. Shibori can be used not only to create patterns on cloth but to turn fabric from a two-dimensional into a three-dimensional object. The word is used here to refer to any process that leaves a memory on cloth' -a permanent record,' See more

About Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada

For nearly thirty years surface-design artist curator and textile researcher YOSHIKO IWAMOTO WADA has been teaching shibori first in Berkeley California and then around the world. Many who took her classes went on to become artists and teachers themselves and thanks to Wada's efforts the field has expanded geometrically over the course of a single generation. In 1983 she also coauthored with Mary Kellogg Rice and Jane Barton the definitive book in English Shibori: The Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped-Resist Dyeing. As Jack Lenor Larsen puts it in his foreword to Memory on Cloth Through her first book Shibori and through her exhibits lectures and personal persuasion in every communication medium Wada has single-handedly changed our field and its language. Because of her commitment to keeping shibori traditions alive the word shibori has now become universally accepted as the term for shaped-resist processes. Wada continues to travel the world searching for shibori innovations and outstanding artists.
