- ‘Shibori – Digital Intervention’ is a textile design research project that investigates possible innovations by creating ‘Shibori’ inspired dyed resist fabrics with the aid of Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools or Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) techniques. The research aim is to preserve and record the hand-crafted qualities; dye penetration patterns and irregularities (mistakes) created during the haptic application of this patterning process by digital intervention. Very little research within the textile design specialism of ‘Shibori’ has been undertaken from the perspective of the designer/practitioner/researcher. This research approaches this subject from a new angle through contemporary design thinking and practical work by uniting and comparing different elements of past techniques, tradition and current thinking with technical and digital developments. Creative developments and findings involve the production of unique resist-patterned fabrics that draw on aspects of the past and the present; the traditional and the contemporary; the historic and the scientific. This research intends to advance this ancient technique to survive into the 21st Century.
I began this constantly evolving research at the cusp of digital design, but with developments in CAD and CAM technologies, a traditionally haptic process has managed to adopt and evolve by embracing the potential of these rapidly advancing technologies. The resulting design outputs and creative methodologies of this research has been disseminated at various International conferences across the world via a series of published papers and exhibited works. Some to specific audiences of Internationally renowned ‘Shibori’ experts, researchers and makers, at other times to general crafts practitioners; the interested public; fashion and textile students and members of the Society of Dyers and Colourists.
