TP923.M377Description
At the age of seventeen, John Marshall ventured forth to Japan for what turned out to be a five-year stint and half-century adventure in historic Japanese textile arts. John has presented exhibitions of his art-to-wear internationally, with shows in Japan sponsored by the U.S. State Department, Kodansha, and Nishitetsu Corporation. Today John continues his interest in this art form -- lecturing and publishing while at the same time adapting traditional approaches to a modern and Western environment to ensure that these unique techniques are not lost. Having worked with natural indigo since the early 1970s, John continues working with natural dyes and Japanese dye techniques out of his studio located in a rural corner of Mendocino County in California. While specializing in katazome rice-paste resist, John also writes about a broad range of traditional Japanese textile techniques, sharing his love of these treasures and his decades of research and experience.Lexicon
