The incursion was led by Karen Davis, from Shibori, an Australian textile and design company based in Sydney.  Karen is a world renowned Shibori artist who has spent several years studying in Japan perfecting her art form. This is the second year we have run this incursion and the students were completely immersed in the Shibori artform.

They will use these techniques and their own design thinking to create a modern Kimono. This first assessment task is all about learning how to take a traditional artform and mix it with contemporary influences.
