| Japanese Textiles Talks
- A hands on experience with the chance to dress up
All of my talks offer a unique opportunity to see vintage Japanese textiles close
up. My collection includes many unique and inspiring textile items that are rarely seen
outside of Japan.
All of my talks feature real Japanese textiles and my own creative work. I don't use a
slide projector!
An audience member at a recent talk described her experience as:
"Better than the V&A." |

A must for fans of all things indigo, sashiko, kasuri ikat, boromono (rag cloths)
and country clothing.
Includes vintage sashiko from around Japan and a chance to dress up as a Japanese farmer
or famer's wife.
"My most popular talk." |

A wide ranging look at kimono, obi and other textiles, formal and informal:
- From brocade fabrics stiff with gold threads
- To stencilled yukata cottons.
Prepare to be inspired by the colours, patterns and textures of Japan.

This talk focuses not only kimono, but various textile items for festivals and ceremonies
throughout the year.
Hear about the traditions behind the fabrics, their designs and their symbolism. |
 |
|
|
|
Kimono follow fashion trends just like non-Japanese clothing!
From Art Deco and fifties style to more contemporary trends - retro mania abounds. |
