THE
MAIWA SCHOOL OF TEXTILES
At the confluence of ways of learning is the Maiwa School of Textiles: workshops, lectures, events, exhibitions; a place where knowledge is shared. It is, we have been told, a well stacked buffet for the hungry mind. It is also a chance to meet makers in a hands-on, intimate environment.

Each quilt brings a little nostalgia for our favourite pieces of cloth. Clothing, bedding, block printing and dyeing. As we make these quilts we revisit every single piece. Contemplated. Considered. Placed.

Kits
Grey's are complex when they are made with natural dyes. Tannin and iron combine on cloth to create delicate, nuanced shades. Together they speak about slate, pensive skies, and a darkness that still contains light.
