Mer om författaren

Jane was drawn to indigo and stitch resist when she studied textiles at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, Farnham. Using indigo predominately she has focused on stitch techniques, inventing new stitch formats and incorporating other textile decorative methods with shibori to further enrich surface and pattern quality.A well-respected shibori artist, teacher and speaker, Jane is based in Norfolk, England and has taught and presented her textiles in schools, colleges and textile groups in the UK and overseas. Her work has evolved out of a love of pattern and in 2011 she authored the book 2000 Pattern Combinations: A Step-by-step Guide to Creating Pattern published by Batsford in the UK and by Bunka Shuppan in Japan.
