Caitlin Klooger and Lara Cameron, the duo behind Melbourne textile studio Ink And Spindle, first met in the online creative sphere before crossing paths at trade shows such as the Finders Keepers market. Both artists were separately riding the freelance wave, Lara as a graphic designer and Caitlin dealing in textile design, when they realized their art had a lot in common. “We had a similar aesthetic and similar sustainable values,” says Lara. “It was the right time for both of us to build a business together.”
