She went on to study at the Natalie Bray school of Haute Couture. A well-respected shibori textile artist and teacher, Jane is based in East Anglia. Limiting her palette and using indigo predominantly, she focuses on shibori technique, inventing stitch formats and finding further surface qualities to combine with indigo shibori resists. <p/>Jane teaches and presents her textiles in schools, art institutions, at degree level and in many groups and guilds, both in the UK and overseas. Her work has evolved out of a passion for pattern-making and in 2011 she authored the book 2000 Pattern Combinations: for Graphic, Textile and Craft Designers.
