This Beyond the Blues workshop consists of two sessions in which participants will explore folding and binding techniques before creating a shibori-inspired design on a t-shirt, pillowcase, or tote bag. Each session lasts 2 hours, and all materials are provided.

Dive Deep, Rise Blue.
The conscious theme of acceptance sets the tone for the workshop, beginning with a guided meditation to create a calm and reflective atmosphere. The process of folding, binding, and dyeing reflects the unpredictability of life’s patterns—each piece emerging unique and beautiful in its own way. At the end of the session, participants can reflect on their experience through journalling, with optional sharing for those who wish.

Unfold, Dye, Surprise!
Using simple materials such as fabric, dye, and elastic bands, participants will be guided through each step of the process to create their own blue tie-dye piece. The workshop is not about following strict instructions but about experimenting, observing, and letting patterns unfold naturally. The finished t-shirt, tote bag, or pillowcase becomes both a personal artwork and a reminder of the calm, meditative journey that shaped it.
