The Visual Arts Department at the Ashtabula Arts Center offers education for all ages and experience levels, as well as year-round opportunities for artists to showcase their work and network with other artists. The accessibility of our Visual Arts programming is a priority, and classes, workshops, and community art events are offered both on site at the Arts Center and as outreach throughout Ashtabula County. Our facilities include an art studio, clay studio, and gallery. In addition to classes and workshops, individual instruction is available in multiple art forms. Artists and art students also have opportunities to be part of our 13th Street and Straw Hat production teams, helping to create set pieces and projections.

Shibori is a Japanese dyeing tradition using manual resist techniques such as binding, twisting, or clamping to create a variety of patterns in indigo. This workshop will cover Arashi Shibori, a wrapping technique using a cylinder or rope, and Itijime Shibori, involving clamping and binding. Each piece will be unique. Materials included are a silk scarf, 1 yard of cotton fabric, and indigo dye vat. Students should bring scissors & gloves, and dress in a paint shirt/apron, and work shoes (this process WILL get messy!)
