Gambiered Silk Workshop @Shunde -Tradition and Exploration
July 28 - August 1, 2014
Gambiered silk - an intangible cultural heritage in Guangdong, is produced by soaking the silk with yam juice and covering it with mud before exposing to the sun. During the previous International Shibori Symposium (8th iss 2011), gambiered silk, as presented by representatives from Foshan of the Guangdong Province, had generated tremendous interests among the global audience. Expect to see more fabulous work from the Foshan group in the upcoming Shibori Symposium!
As partner to the 9th iss, Jinze Arts Centre is organizing a 5-day gambiered silk dye workshop at Shunde at the end of July. We will spend our time at the dye workshop, watch how the cloth is made, while we experiment in our own ways. We will try the many resist dye methods on different fibres, exploring the unique quality of the tannin dye and iron-rich mud. Explore the applications on wood, paper and other material. The findings will be presented at the 9th iss in October this year.
Gambiered silk is unique to this part of China, the land, water, sunshine together gave birth to this textile. There will be lots of sun and sweat, a chance to understand the local fishpond-silk culture, fresh food and lots of discussions.
