Introducing ‘Colour Grown’ Organic Cotton

"Materialize offers a sensational selection of work by up-and-coming emerging makers".

Old time vibes, modern weaving.

The official launch of my small business producing handwoven scarves.

"A work can endure because it fits our idea of what constitutes classic design, or simply thanks to process and materials. These works resonate with the past, by reimagining timeless methods, or re-purposing materials to infuse them with contemporary meaning.  It’s about work that lasts."

Over the next week I will be experimenting with extraction methods.  And then from there trying different methods of reduction and dyeing to find out what works best.

The pattern is designed using a 'colour and weave' technique called Shadow Weave.

On 24th April last year, 1133 people were killed and over 2500 were injured when the Rana Plaza factory complex collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Social and environmental catastrophes in our fashion supply chains continue.

Immeasurable patience, and unwavering focus. . .I've found the secret to great weaving.

Come with me on a journey, down the woven road we go.  As the beat weaves on, I will share it here with you.
