fabric design in japan

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Studio

So, this week we are learning the Japanese process of katazome, which is a resist process. First, we design stencils with our prints. Then, ee make nori (a paste made of rice flour and some other ingredients) and apply it to empty spaces of stencils. After dyeing, we remove the nori to reveal white parts that resisted the dye.




These are some of my designs... arrows and eggs.
