One of the richest textile traditions in the world, Shibori has been used in Japan, Africa, India and South America for the rich colour, bold patterns and intricate designs it creates. In recent years, a resurgence of the art has revealed its full potential. Janice Gunner’s new book is aimed at quilters, embroiderers and textile artists who not only want to master the technique, but also find ways of using the fabric for a range of textile techniques, including quilting and embroidery.
