What you'll do
Hello from tropical island Bali!
This is an introductory experience to know about plant based natural dye and shibori (the way to create resist pattern).
We will use what we can easily find or already have at home to dye fabric.
Remember, we can always find something useful and precious near us : )
I will guide you on how to prepare fabric with soy milk before dyeing, how to make motif and dye your fabric with strong black tea!
(I have tried dyeing with fresh turmeric, avocado pits & skin and onion skin! Let's talk about what else we can use to dye fabric!)
I will message to those who sign up this Experience on how to pretreat fabric with soy milk (for better binding) before joining the class. This process can take up to 24 hours so I recommend you to sign up 2 days before the online Experience to give you enough time to prepare your fabric with soy milk. This process is important as it will give better result.
The whole process will be;
Pretreat fabric (18-24 hrs)
Shibori with me (1.5hrs online)
Dyeing (soaking) fabric in the black tea (12-24hrs)
I hope this online Experience will bring a joy of up-cycling what we already have and becomes a place to celebrate our diversity by sharing our knowledge, thought and ideas!
You can also see my other natural dye project on my instagram @jalakbali_byrumi and face-to-face Experience https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/339383

Over the past few years, I have welcomed many people to my workshop in Bali and Japan and shared joy of naturally dyeing fabric (mainly indigo colour) to appreciate and give a new look to what we already have.
(my AIRBNB EXPERIENCE https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/339383).
Working with plant based colour has been a mindful practice and the way to connect with nature for me. I became more conscious about living sustainably for me to be able to continue the journey of fabric dyeing with nature.
Now I am bringing my tips to you with this online experience!

This was a very special experience for me, my mother, and my grandmother. We learned some great techniques for dying our fabrics. Rumi is very informed about natural dyes from food and she patiently answered all of our questions. Looking forward to seeing our finished projects tomorrow. Highly recommend this experience. Tons of information that will be useful in the future. Thank you Rumi!
