John Marshall is an American
fiber artist specializing in natural dyes and the traditional
Japanese techniques of
katazome (stencil dyeing) and
tsutsugaki (cone drawing). He is
internationally noted for his
use of color and line to create
truly unique one-of-a-kind
art-to-wear, turning
traditionally inspired
aesthetics into contemporary
treasures for daily life. As a teacher he is recognized for his ability to adapt
traditional recipes and methods to suit local climates, resources, and
temperaments – and for his ability to distill complex techniques into easy-to-understand
steps.
The information on this site is a sharing of John Marshall's nearly half century
of experience in katazome and related textile techniques – no secrets, no dead-end temptations, just a thorough introduction to the joys
of uniquely Japanese arts.
