Does Shindo-san still offer apprenticeships? I am very interested in doing a longer term apprenticeship for dyeing. Do you know of others that may offer something like this?

Hi Grace,

Shindo-san speaks English, his English is very good. I do know that he does not offer any workshops / education beyond a chat in his studio. If you google natural dyeing kyoto I’m sure you’ll find something. There is a place in Ohara that does workshops, you’ll need to google it. I have no idea how good they are though :)

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year with my husband to learn Shibori dyeing and would love to learn from someone like him.

Do you happen to know if he would do something like this?

Thanks in advance!
Grace

Hi Tobie,

We did rent a car in Kyoto, just for the day. If you can stay in the village that would be wonderful, it’s so nice there.
There is a bus, the details for that are on Shindo-san’s website for the little Indigo museum. You’ve made me realise i haven’t put links in my post so I’ll fix that up now.
Have a wonderful time meeting Shindo-san and say hello from me!

I was told to stay in the village for 1 night as it’s very nice and there is a good hotel and some good hiking or walks.
Did you rent a car in Kyoto to get to Miyama? Do you know if there is public transportation?
I am going in October.
Thanks,
Tobie (in California)
