Oh my goodness the fun we had making these!!!
Students were each given a piece of raw silk and then allowed to shibori that silk using a variety of items to create areas of resist - rubber bands, stones, paper clips, hair pins, clothes pins, etc. Then students put their silk in the kool aid dye bath. After about 10 mins, silks were rinsed and students removed their items and saw their gorgeous pieces. Amazing! Some classes dyed twice for a layered color effect, and we will definitely be doing more of that next year.
Thank you PTA for the grant to support this lesson!!!
