Silk dress by Jane Jacobs - hand printed with Marigold and Sumach
Jane has always been drawn to texture and textiles, and founded her Newmarket studio in 2012. She loves sharing her passion with others, and hosts felting, indigo, and eco printing workshops around Southern Ontario.
Textiles with a Natural Story.
Silks, linens, and cottons are prepared in a mineral bath, then botanicals are hand-placed to create patterns. The silk bundle is rolled and tied, then steamed/simmered for hours. When the bundle is removed and untied, the plants leave behind their colour!
