Shibori presentation at July meeting

Fiber artist and guild member, Veronica Hofman-Ortega, will be giving a presentation on Shibori at the July 7 Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild meeting.

Shibori techniques.

Shibori is an ancient resist dying technique that has been practiced in many countries around the globe. It has countless contemporary applications and continues to be inspiring and exciting to fiber artists, dyers, quiltmakers and wearable artists worldwide.

Ms. Hofman-Ortega is also a published writer. Two of her shibori garments were published in her article, "Compliments of the Dye Pot" in the Summer 2011 issue of Belle Armoire magazine. One of the garments, The Power of Panthera Leo, won Best of Show at the Riverbend Fiber Arts 2010 Guild Challenge and was one of the chosen garments to appear on the runway at the 2010 Tennessee Presents Textiles special wearable art exhibit entitled, "The Power of the Pocket." You can read about these and Veronica's other fiber art activities on her blog, FiberAnticsbyVeronica.com.

Come to the July 7 guild meeting and hear about shibori's rich history and magical appeal.
