<strong>Shibori</strong><br />
Pepa Martin and Karen Davis founders of <strong>Shibori</strong>, a boutique textile agency, are renowned<br />
for pushing the boundaries of this ancient Japanese craft. By exploring and modernising<br />
old techniques on modern fabrics the pair injects a strong design element into their work<br />
making an old craft new again.<br />
<strong>Shibori</strong> fabrics have been used by some of Australia’s top designers in both fashion and<br />
interiors and their hand dyed leathers and commercial fabrics can be seen in venues<br />
throughout Australia.<br />
Authors of <strong>Shibori</strong> Created: shibori in the 21st century, documents the reinvention<br />
and recreation of the ancient Japanese art of shibori and its place in design today. A<br />
photographic journal containing interviews from a range of diverse artisans, designers,<br />
fashion identities and textile collectors, explores the various uses of the ancient craft and<br />
versatility of fabric manipulation in the digital age.<br />
In 2013, Pepa and Karen released a range of wallpaper reflecting their hand done<br />
aesthetic. Each design is hand dyed before being digitally printed on high performance<br />
wallpaper. Following a media splash on its release the wallpaper has already been used as<br />
a backdrop for Australian fashion week and for an international marketing campaign by<br />
one of Australia’s largest retailers.<br />
With the flexibility of their trade, the pair has collaborated on some unique projects<br />
including; a full scale dip dyed hot air balloon, fabric inlayed surf boards made by<br />
McTavish and Sibella Court as well as a home wares range with Lee Mathews and a<br />
collection with Fleur Wood.
