Having discovered Shibori\, the ancient Japanese art of resist dyeing\, at West Dean college\, Rob went on to study in Japan under indigo guru\, Bryan Whitehead. In 2018 and 2019\, Rob returned to Japan to expand his Japanese textiles skills and teaching practice\, visiting Ise\, the home of Katagami stencilling and the Sashiko museum in Hinohara\, bringing back antique stencils\, sashiko thread and vintage Boro textiles. \nRob’s passion is in finding the new in the old\, building on the tradition and centuries of skill that Japanese textiles crafts have behind them. He believes in taking work in new directions by combining techniques and inventing his own forms. Rob teaches a variety of Japanese textiles-based courses using indigo and natural dyes at various London venues. He is a short course tutor at West Dean College\, near Chichester\, where he teaches Shibori resist dyeing\, Katagami stencilling and Kogin embroidery. Rob also teaches Shibori and Katagami at Old Bank Studios in Harwich and Handprinted in Bognor Regis. In the summer of 2022 his Sashiko embroidery and Boro mending were featured in the Semi-final of the Great British Sewing Bee as inspiration for the conversion challenge. Rob’s work was exhibited at the Japanese Embassy in London from May through September 2023. \nhttps://www.romordesigns.com/journal/2023/5/14/aizome-the-craft-of-japanese-indigo-dyeing-at-the-embassy-of-japan-in-london-may-to-july-2023 \nBooking Terms and Conditions:\nThe fee is non-refundable if you cancel (unless another person can take your place.)\nWe occasionally have a waiting list for a workshop and if that is the case your place would be offered to the next person on the list.
