Testimonials

«My daughters and I spent a wonderful day with Conni learning the Hinode shibori technique. Conni is a gifted teacher with great patience. Conni shares her vast knowledge generously. We would gladly return for more classes. Thank you so much Conni for inviting us into your home.»

«I discovered Cornelia and her passion for Shibori in 2024 through her website. Since the first workshop I attended in an exceptional location, over half a day, I have followed Cornelia through the evolution of her project (a three-day course in 2025 with the participation of exceptional Japanese artisans). Cornelia is a «transmitter» of the passion for Shibori and indigo with all her modesty/humility. She is a great teacher, creating cohesion and a friendly atmosphere, whether in a half-day workshop or a three-day course. Each time, the location is chosen to create an atmosphere conducive to the workshop and the participants. Kindness, sharing, and transmission are Cornelia's values. One can only endorse them. A memorable experience.»

«I knew little of Cornelia’s work, though I did know about her love for indigo. But taking part in a WORKSHOP means discovering what lies behind the scenes of what everyone admires: the concrete techniques, and above all the patience that is such an essential part of the creative process. In her beautifully arranged studio at her home in Bègles, where her indigo vats are cared for like living beings, you are guided step by step in creating two pieces, with a truly ‘Japanese’ sense of kindness and attentiveness. An exceptional immersive day!»

«From my very first introduction to Shibori with Cornelia, I immediately wanted to take part in more workshops – which I did. Cornelia has many wonderful qualities: attentive, dedicated to sharing her knowledge, experienced, creative, experimental, passionate, and gifted. Creating a tote bag or another item while discovering this art alongside her is a true pleasure not to be missed. Go for it!»
