I was invited by the lovely Robin Bias, Art Educator and Art Department Chair at Patton High School this week to present a Shibori Workshop for her 16 students. I had an absolutely wonderful time! Ms. Bias and the students all made me feel right at home and very welcome! I think the students enjoyed their silk scarves and cotton bandanas very much. I have to say, I am most impressed with their goodies! If you want to learn more about Shibori, visit this page in my site. Here are the pictures from our workshop:
 The students were all so attentive and respectful during my visit! I was honored to be there, and truly miss them. It's been a long time since I was in a classroom, and I do miss teaching. |  Ms. Bias |  Ms. Bias and Myself |
 Students working on Arashi Shibori, Binding Shibori, and Stitch and Gathering Shibori. |  I was impressed with how intently some of the students worked on their projects. |  Several of the students wanted to combine different methods into one piece, I admired their fearlessness and bravery in approaching this new skill! |
 Some of the students planned to give their projects to their Mothers for Mother's Day--so sweet! |  Quietly working and concentrating... |  Side by side washing out their projects, taking off the bands and strings feels so good when you're doing this! |
 Graciously let me interrupt her for a picture. She used the binding technique on hers--sorry I didn't get names of everyone. |  Looking like a scientist here, she decided to use two colors on hers, and it turned out beautifully! |  These girls are proudly displaying their works of art. |
 Love this purple! Arashi Shibori using pole wrapping technique. |  This blue reminds me of the skies at the beach. |  Look closely at the bottom were you'll see circles created using the binding technique of Shibori, subtle and beautiful...pink is a vibrant color here. |
 This bandana turned out great! Beautiful work, and she made it look effortless! |  Display of all of the students work. |  This is a great beginner's book, so students, if you want to keep expanding your knowledge about Shibori, I highly recommend this read! Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of your class! I will remember you and my experience there always! |
Even as I was entering this blog post, my husband brought in a "Thank You" note from the students and Ms. Bias, thanking me for visiting their classroom and sharing my knowledge with them. I have to say, the THANK YOU is all mine! I so much appreciated the opportunity to come and visit and share your time with you! It was a blessing for me! Thank you all so very much!! :)
