Celebrate Pride Month with creativity and color in this Shibori and tie dye workshop 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Saturday, June 21, presented by the Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area (NRGNHA) at Los Luceros.

Shibori is a traditional Japanese tie-dye technique that involves clamping, binding, folding, or wrapping fabric to create endless pattern variations when dipped into liquid fabric dyes. Learn the art of Shibori dyeing and create fabulous rainbow patterns to honor and celebrate diversity. Get an introduction to the history and cultural significance of Shibori, create Shibori patterns by preparing fabrics, and dye the fabric to create a stunning piece to take home. All materials will be provided. Wear comfortable clothing that can get stained, bring a notebook and pen for notes, and bring personal fabric items you’d like to dye. Registration is $50 per person to help support Los Luceros Historic Site. Register online or contact Gabriela Silva from NRGNHA at 505.692.3086.

NRGNHA’s workshop offers participants a chance to learn about the history of Japanese Shibori tie dye, as well as hands-on techniques to continue the art form at home.
