The Workshop Leader
London-based Romor Designs was formed in 2015 by Rob Jones, a shibori textiles designer and natural dyer.
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, Rob returned to Japan to expand his Japanese textiles skills, visiting Ise, the home of Katagami stencilling and buying supplies to set up his own teaching practice back in the UK.
He also visited the Sashiko museum in Hinohara and brought back sashiko thread and vintage textiles and is now teaching sashiko and boro classes as well.
Rob’s passion is in finding the new in the old, building on the tradition and centuries of skill that shibori has behind it. He believes in taking work in new directions by combining techniques and inventing his own forms.
