Hong Kong_8th International Shibori Symposium


I am so lucky to be able to attend this event in Hong Kong. Some pre-conference talks and exhibitions have already started.
In the last couple of weeks, Edith Cheung from Cloth Haven gave a talk on the use of wool in Traditional clothing, and Yoshiko Wada gave one on 'Slow Fibres'.

Below are some of the images from the exhibition:
