Pay a virtual visit to the studio of Japanese textile designer Himuro Yuri whose playful and surprising designs created through jacquard weaving and cutting are featured in the new Liberty Fabrics collection From Japan with Love.
Following an introduction to this co-created collection by Liberty’s Lead Designer Ffion Griffith, guests are transported to Himuro’s studio in Taitō, Tokyo. There, Himuro explains the creative processes and vision behind her unique design Sky and gives a special live demonstration of her signature cutting technique which is used in Sky and other works from her Snip-Snap collection.
During this live online event, moderated by Japan House London Programming Director Simon Wright, there is an opportunity for registered guests to ask questions to the speakers. During the Q&A Himuro Yuri and Ffion Griffith will be joined by Liberty’s Design Director Mary-Ann Dunkley.
This event is the second in a two-part series held in partnership with Liberty coinciding with the release of the new Liberty Fabrics collection From Japan with Love. The fabric collection was created as a result of a collaboration between the Liberty design team and eight contemporary Japanese artists working within a wide range of graphics, textiles and fine art mediums to showcase the broad diversity of Japanese design.
