JEAN CARBON – C’BON TEXTILES
Textile artisan, fashion designer, installation artist, traveler and teacher.
Jeans’ passion is fabric, its history and origins, the many ways it can be patterned, coloured and decorated to create garments or works of art. She uses the ancient resist dying techniques of Shibori and clamped blocks to pattern glorious silk fabrics. While this form of dyeing is very labour intensive it allows her to be specific in placement of the pattern on the garment or piece of art making it unique and original.
She is happy to have visitors to her studio to either discuss the process, do a workshop, try on a garment or purchase a gift, phone or text first to arrange a time.
