Shibori (meaning To Wring, Squeeze and/or Press in Japanese) is a traditional artisanal resist dyeing technique. In Shibori dyeing parts of the fabric are bound out of the dye, resulting in patterns.
The scale and artistic style of the patterns can be varied from anything between small and very detailed to large-scaled and abstract, giving a lot of freedom to artistic expression for the artisan. With so many variations possible, including the use of colours and tones of the dyes, Shibori's artistic freedom gives the the possibility for developing a very unique individual style.
Susurro's style has developed into watercoloured like patterns combined with faded pastel tone colour palettes. We mainly dye monotone designs, letting harmonic tones emerge with Shibori dyeing process. In our studio we mainly use folding, plaiting and twisting to manipulate the fabric to achieve the wanted patterns. Yet with Shibori there is always the element of surprise of the final results.
At the moment we use reactive dyes, but we are studying natural dyeing and see that as our future. We believe in sustainable choices and want to be kind to our environment.
