There are many techniques for dying cloth. During this experience, you can try two of these methods: Kasamaki and Nuishime. The Kasamaki method is a technique that involves stitching around the shape you want to create, pulling the thread tight, and then wrapping the threads around the cone of fabric several times. The Nuishime method is a technique that involves stitching along a line and then pulling the thread tight. After dyeing a silk wrapping cloth (38cm x 38cm) using the Kasamaki shibori method and Nuishime shibori method, you will end up with a beautiful silk wrapping cloth that will serve as a great memento of your trip to Kyoto. Classes are usually held individually and will take about 60 minutes to 90 minutes.

This was a highlight of our time in Kyoto. The instructors were very capable and knowledgeable, but most of all they showed delight in our achievements, sharing our excitement at the reveal. After the class, we were given an informative personal tour of the museum, at our own pace, with patience and pleasure.

We had a wonderful time at this class. It was so much fun learning about and creating our shibori. We had so many professional Shibori makers all around us and they were so happy and excited to help us learn. We also got to tour the museum which is full of absolutely amazing art pieces. It's such an intricate and unique way to decorate fabric it's awe-inspiring to see the works in the museum. My entire family enjoyed this activity. I would do this class everyday if I could. We highly recommend this class.

Great visit to this family run museum. We had a great time doing a brief shibori class. The attention from the staff was excellent and the class was fun. The staff were also well informed regarding the history and process of shibori. The display was well set up and we had a great hour or so here.

The workshop was so much fun -- just the right level of challenge for an absolute beginner like me -- and i was so pleased with the outcome! The instructor was great -- patient and explicit -- and I got the chance to explore the museum while my shibori was drying. I would definitely recommend this experience!

What a wonderful way to spend a hot afternoon in Kyoto! Roy was careful in his teaching, helped me learn the process while supporting understanding it as well. Got a terrific piece of wrapped shibori out of it as well.
