New Listing - Nautilus-FiberArts
I am excited to introduce you to this wonderful Katazome Artist - Karen Miller-san.
She was a professional marine biologist at Oregon State University and her art is often inspired by her scientific background.
She produces art quilts, silk garment yardage, interior linens(Noren) and indigo-dyed cotton fabrics.
Katazome has a long history of tradition among many dyeing techniques and it is a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil.
In the Muromachi period, Katazome was used for the accessory to armors worn by the samurai lords. “Komon” a small repeated pattern using Katazome was popular in the Edo period. It was used as an official samurai uniform. Each symbol mark if each family was entitled by the "Daimyo". She explains how to make Katazome on her website - About Katazome
