Not only will you learn dyeing techniques, but you will also understand how mixing organic elements can lead to impressive visual and tactile results, with a diversity of textures and shapes.

O curso tem um conteúdo muito bem estruturado, desde o histórico da técnica do Shibori até a demonstração do passo a passo. O conhecimento de Tati Polo é incrível, imensurável e ela consegue passar o conteúdo de forma muito didática e simples, até o nózinho final. Tati Polo tem muito mais a oferecer. A Domestika poderia aplicar esse curso, tipo nível 2, módulo avançado. Fica aqui a sugestão.
