MEET THE MAKERS
USING MAIWA SHAWLS, SCARVES, & YARDAGE
LINEN • SILK • COTTON • HANDWOVEN
Meet the Makers — where we shine a light on how artisans are using Maiwa Supplies. In this feature we call out four makers who are using our blank shawls, scarves and yardage to create their own exceptional work. These are makers who are bringing a thoughtful, creative approach to textile art. Each one of them rewards a longer visit to their website or instagram feed.

CHERYL LAWRENCE
An inspired maker and masterful katazome artist, Cheryl Lawrence uses Maiwa's gauziest shawls and scarves (her instagram feed shows her using these with Japanese indigo). Cheryl also makes good use of Maiwa's yardage to complete larger projects, including the katazome patterned dress shown here.
Cheryl's dress is made with our handwoven cloth overdyed with indigo.
