AT A GLANCE
Who: Karen Davis and Pepa Martin, resist-dye artists and founders of Sydney-based dye studio, Shibori. What they do: Create beautiful patterned fabric, leather and wallpaper using traditional Japanese dyeing techniques, for both private and commercial spaces. Where: Sydney’s Inner West, NSW. Why they do it: “Creating for us is like an escape,” says Karen. Visit: shibori.com.au. Follow: @shibori_textiles
Prints from Shibori’s latest collection with textiles company Materialised adorn a stack of cushions.
A vessel of indigo dye sits to one side of the studio.
The fluid nature of shibori allows endless possibilities and techniques to unfold.
Knotted fabric resembles jelly fish-like forms and complements the indigo hues of the fabric, creating a magical sea swell on Pepa and Karen’s work bench.
