Teens will learn about the Japanese art of shibori, including its history and techniques. All participants will receive a handkerchief to fold and dye using the shibori techniques that they learn about in the program. Teens may also bring one additional garment to dye, if they choose to. All fabric will be dyed using traditional indigo blue dye.

Registration is required for this free event. Teens going into grades 6-12 are welcome to attend. For more information, please contact Teen Programming Librarian Caitlyn Lung at 925-373-5576.
